Vegetable Curry

OH MY GOODNESS, OH MY GOODNESS, OH MY GOODNESS!


1. Do you want the best curry in the world?
2. Do you want the privilege of making it in the comfort of your own home?


Well great, here's your chance.


Vegetable Curry thanks to "The Vegetarian Student Cookbook" that I picked up from Chapters the other day.

Best purchase ever? I think so. My brother is Vegetarian so while I'm at home I convert to a Vegetarian lifestyle. I'm extremely excited about this recipe... DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND MAKE IT!


Double it and triple it cause you'll want it everyday.

Cooking in the pot. Your whole house will smell ridiculously good.

Ready to serve!
