What’s For Dinner Mrs. Skinner — Coconut Curry

I am not crazy about curry but this recipe and the right curry powder made me a fan! I started with one of my favorite Vegan Cookbooks…

7 Secrets Cookbook has so many delicious vegan recipes! Perfect to have around for when those vegan friends or family visit!!!

Now, I am going to warn you right off the bat! I CANNOT FOLLOW A RECIPE! So while I started with the recipe in 7 Secrets Cookbook, I got creative so the recipe below was inspired by Neva in her cookbook but with a few creative twists:)

Is anything prettier than veggies sautéing in the pan? Oh so yummy! Hubby taught me to salt this layer and then taste and salt the finished product. Makes a huge difference! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!

I always think of this step as the finishing touch…putting the can of coconut milk in and stirring to make it all creamy delicious! My favorite curry powder is Madras Sambar Curry Powder.
