One of Nick’s all-time favorites is Butter Chicken Curry and I believe I have mastered its vegan version. This time it’s with roasted pumpkin. It’s smooth and creamy, yet so aromatic and flavorful. Perfect plant-based dinner on a chilly winter night.
Feel free to add tofu or chickpeas for more protein.
