Craving healthy, warming comfort food? Curry is one of my go-to meals during the colder months—not just for the cozy factor, but for how deeply nourishing it is. This vibrant yellow curry is nutrient-dense and packed with fiber, and it’s one of those meals the whole family loves. The beauty of curry is its flexibility; you can easily add whatever vegetables or proteins you have on hand and make it your own.

Fresh mint and cilantro bring brightness and freshness, balancing the richness of the curry. The golden color comes from turmeric blended into the curry paste. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. I intentionally add black pepper to help improve the body’s absorption of turmeric’s active compounds, making this dish both functional and flavorful. Coconut milk contributes nourishing healthy fats, while chickpeas add both fiber and plant-based protein.
