So imma spicing up the menu with this scrumptious aromatic curry. Yummmmmm!!! Veggie curry is a fab way to up the ante on nutrition throughout the week, adding valuable nutrients from culinary spices (turmeric, ginger, chilli) to fire up your immune and circulatory system, making you warm for the winter, and keeping hunger at bay with a vitamin, mineral and protein rich egg.

Takes no time to put together either – gluten, dairy, sugar free, vegetarian and paleo.
