Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Carrot, diced
- 1 cup Potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Green beans, chopped
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Mild curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Vegetable broth or water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the mild curry powder, turmeric, and ground cumin to toast the spices for 30 seconds.
Add the diced carrot, potato, and green beans to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth or water and bring to a simmer.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the vegetables cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Stir in the coconut milk, frozen peas, and salt (if using). Let simmer gently for another 8-10 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove from heat and allow the curry to cool slightly before serving. Ensure it’s at a safe temperature for toddlers.
Serve the curried veggies on their own or over toddler-friendly rice or soft couscous.
