It’s the end of the week and you got some veggies that are just about on their last legs. You contemplate stir-friday but want to spice it up a bit.
Enter [almost] one-pot curry.
These are the veggies I used, but again, use what ya got #teamnofoodwasted
The recipe makes a delicious pot of curry that you can serve over rice, but I decided to whip up some Banza and saute about a cup of the curry into the noodles instead just to be fancy.
