I gotta tell you, this is my favorite recipe to date! It’s easy, packed with protein and soooooo yummy!! As my taste buds are maturing and I’m branching out more into different types of foods, I’m craving more flavor. My recent passion is for Indian food because it’s flavorful and lends itself really well to my plant-based/vegan lifestyle. If you enjoy curry, I hope you will love this recipe as much as my family and I do. I make a fresh batch every week. It goes well as a spread for veggie sandwiches, as a dip for fresh veggies, or with pita.
