Introduction
Potatoes, carrots, onion, and broccoli simmered with curry roux into a thick, fragrant sauce and ladled over white rice — this is a favorite lunch for many vegetarians. Curry's spice blend delivers deep, layered flavor even without meat, and as the potatoes cook down soft, they help thicken the sauce further. One bowl is deeply satisfying, and it's easy to make a big batch and refrigerate portions for meal prep.
Nutrition Highlights
- The turmeric in curry contains curcumin, which has some antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
- Potatoes provide plenty of potassium and dietary fiber, along with some carbohydrates
- Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which helps support healthy skin and eyes
- Broccoli adds vitamin C and sulfur-containing phytonutrients
Tips
- Choose a curry roux free of animal-derived ingredients — check the label before buying
- Cut the potatoes and carrots into rough chunks so they cook evenly and hold their shape
- The curry sauce tastes even better after a night in the fridge, as the flavors meld — reheat it the next day for a richer taste
- Peas or corn kernels can be added for more color and texture
