These curried vegetables are an amazing, flavor-packed way to get in a ton of vegetables. This recipe is the perfect side dish to any protein or can easily be made into an entrée by pairing with basmati rice, roti, or naan. Creamy coconut milk balances out the intense and mildly spicy flavors. This dish is a gut health superstar, packed with fiber from eight different vegetables and red lentils. These curried vegetables with turmeric provide plenty of polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties.
