You may be thinking “ Peanut Butter in a curry…” Trust me it really adds some serious depth of flavour! If you’re a peanut butter lover, then this will probably become one of your favourite main dishes.
The best part of this recipe apart from it being incredibly tasty and one of my all time favourite recipes on the blog is the fact that it’s quick to make needing just one pot and uses natural ingredients that you will probably already have in the cupboard at home!
This curry is the perfect dinner whether it’s sunny or raining just make sure you make extras as you can keep this in the fridge for a couple days in an airtight container or it freeze it down for a quick lunch or dinner.
It is also gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free.
