Vegan Red Curry & Black Rice Recipe

I am not going to say much about this recipe this time around because it’s the greatest vegan curry you’re ever going to have. I’ve actually lost track of how many times I’ve made this for people. This is not a spicy hot curry, so if you’re expecting heat, you’re going to have to bring your own into this recipe. I am personally not a big fan of spicy foods so this recipe fairs very well for me. It’s full of flavor, with added sweetness and creaminess from the coconut milk. Also make sure you pair this with some rice or whatever sort of grain you prefer. This will last you for 5 meals, unless you’re like me, then maybe 2 if you’re lucky.
