Our talented Contributing Chef Kelly Barlow (@EatPrayCook_) this time with a gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian/vegan, savoury treat to warm us all! This delightful curry is the perfect winter warmer and is packed with feel-good medicinal herbs and spices! Turmeric is well-known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, ginger for its immune boost, and cayenne pepper to cleanse and detoxify! Health benefits aside, it’s simply delicious and super-easy to make!
