Vegetable Curry

Curry sauces needn’t be feared – they are easy to pull together, and the beauty is you can put most anything in a curry sauce. The veggies I used are just a start, use what you have on hand. As for flavor, this is a very mild curry. A little heat would have been my taste – but I wanted the boys to enjoy it as well. So we sprinkled on hot sauce after 😉 If you want it spicier, add in some fresh chile peppers (such as Thai ones), or use a little red pepper flakes.
