After a weekend of no-cooking, my daughter asked me this morning: "Mom, when can we have proper food again?" Well, as they say, out of the mouthes of babes....... Dad felt like curry, but.. no meat. So I made a quick bean curry. I served it with rice and veggies.

Nice curry, and the picture is so colorful too.
That sounds good to me! I love all the colors and all the veggies! Well done, Nina! This is proper food for sure!
Thx for dropping in Jenn.
Sounds delicious. I really like the photo - the colors, the focus. What is that yummy looking "cracker?"
lori lynn - tanks for visiting and the nice comments. The "cracker" is called a poppedum and in SA we associate it with Indian food as a side dish - I bought it at an Indian shop.
That is real food. I love beans, will definitely try this.
I love a good curry and this looks great! I've had a hankering for some Indian food lately...

The beauty of this dish is that you can eat in 20min time - very filling and low ob GI.

a.grace - my pleasure! This is a very mild curry so do not fear.
I love curry. I'm organising a curry party soon. So this would make a great veggie option.
