Butter Vegetable Curry

If you’re a fan of Butter Chicken you are going to love this delicious, quick and easy Butter Vegetable Curry recipe. This Indian style dish is a milder tasting curry that has a hint of sweetness to it. Being milder makes this dish perfect for families or those who don’t like too much spice.

Although a milder curry but there is a lot of flavor development, so this dish isn’t lacking in flavor. The butter and the spices combine to give this dish real depth and rich buttery flavors. It isn’t processed or overly sweet but tastes like a delicious aromatic curry. Note that this dish tastes amazing eaten straight away but like all curries, the flavors really develop when eaten the next day.

ADD YOUR OWN FAVORITE INGREDIENTS

Feel free to switch out the vegetables in this recipe for your own favorite. If you aren’t concerned about carbs you could add peas and carrot, as well as potato. Chick peas would also go well in this dish if they fit in with your way of eating. Low carb additions include zucchini/courgette, eggplant, peppers/capsicum and radishes. To increase the protein of this dish you could also add firm tofu or paneer. Chicken could also be added for additional protein.

TO SERVE QUICK AND EASY BUTTER VEGETABLE CURRY

Aside from with traditional accompaniments such as rice and dahl, you can stick to a low carb theme to serve this dish as well. Try serving this with Cauliflower Rice and a serve of Low Carb Cauliflower, Broccoli and Sunflower Seed Dahl on the side. This low carb dahl recipe tastes just like traditional dahl made with lentils- but is low carb. Palak Paneer– a spinach and cottage cheese curry is also fabulous served with butter vegetable curry and is vegetarian as well.
