    I love a good healing meal.A heavy and healthy Vegetable Curry. My go to for the healing herbs always tend to be the ones used predominantly in Indian cooking. They just always do the trick with the perfect balance of warming, cooling, expanding, contracting and I am sure I have just about lost you. The thing about traditional Indian cooking that makes it so healing is that it is all about balance in the use of herbs.

    If you're looking for a delicious and easy vegetarian meal, look no further than Indian vegetable curry. This dish is made up of simple and easy to find ingredients, and can be cooked in just a few minutes. Not only is it delicious, but it's also healthy - perfect for those days when you don't have time to cook a more complicated meal. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps necessary to make this delicious dish, and share some tips and advice that will help make it even better.

    I have already shared with you the benefits of turmeric and it's healing potential on the immune system. I have talked about  ginger and garlic too.  Take a look at our indian recipe series ,Channa Masala Recipe.This amazingly delicious Curried Vegetable recipes used one of my all time favourite herbs- yummy in the tummy cloves!

    The smell of clove reminds most people of christmas. It reminds me of the cottage as we put out bowls of cloves to keep the mice away. The only thing that scares me more than mice is snakes. I can handle a bear or a hippo, but a mouse! Incontinence threatens. For this reason, I associate the smell of cloves with protection and rightfully so.

    Cloves are a powerhouse of nutrition as an excellent source of manganese, vitamin C,vitamin K, fibre and magnesium. This nutrient denseness along with the potent phytochemicals also make cloves anti-fungal, anesthetic, aphrodisiac (hello?), anti-cancer, promote cardiovascular health and work to repel those little sceeters (read: mosquitoes). I knew I should have packed my Eau-De-Clove for St. Lucia.

    Now let’s get to the recipe of healthy vegetable curry!
