Time for a mid-winter curry. This dish has fast become my partner’s favourite. One would think he is quite deprived by the way he carries on sometimes – when I put this in front of him the other night, he wolfed it down without a sound, then proclaimed – ‘Can you please put this recipe in a folder called ‘Meals Stipe Likes’ otherwise I’ll never see this again and I miss out!’<\/p>\n

Pffft.<\/p>\n

To be fair, I guess I tend to experiment with new dishes quite frequently (the life of a food blogger!), so it could be a long while before I circle back to making old favourites.<\/p>\n

He loved this meal because it was so packed full of flavour, rich and incredibly satisfying. This is no mean feat, as I often wonder how on earth a man can eat so<\/em> much.<\/p>\n

Anyway. The fact that it is approved Dude-food aside, I love it because it sneaks in a generous two and half cups of greens per serve, not to mention a good amount of protein<\/a>, fibre, and spices that stimulate the circulatory system.<\/p>\n

And here’s a fun tip I picked up over the weekend on a course – having some lemon juice in a little water before a starch-rich meal can help up-regulate the enzyme amylase in your saliva, to promote proper digestion!<\/p>\n

Finally, if you’d like to add a little therapeutic goodness to this dish, I suggest folding through a few nasturtium leaves and flowers if you have them in the garden. Nasturtium has a long history of both culinary and medicinal use, and has traditionally been used to treat upper respiratory tract infections, making it a fab addition to a warming mid-winter curry!<\/p>\n
