Easy Vegetarian Thai Yellow Curry (Vegan/gluten-free!)
"This Vegetarian Thai Yellow Curry is authentic, homemade vegan Thai food at its best! Note that here I have dispensed with making a curry paste; instead, all the minced herbs and dry spices are added directly to the curry pot - a great time-saver if you're in a hurry! And unlike a lot of other yellow curry recipes out there, I don't use curry powder, preferring to add the individual spices for a superior-tasting curry. Serve with your choice of plain jasmine rice, coconut, or whole grain Thai coconut rice for a delicious, healthy, and nutritious vegan dinner. Wonderful for a fall or winter meal. ENJOY!..."
