Detoxifying With Food: Stir-Fry Veggie Curry


For anyone trying to lose a kilogram or two, this nutritious and hearty stir-fry curry dish is perfect as part of a detox diet.


This recipe is very satisfying as it is; however, it can be ‘dressed-up’ by adding a protein and wholegrain of choice. You can also play around with spices and herbs to suit your taste.

It is very quick to prepare and cook, and it is very versatile. Store any leftovers and reheat to serve with wholegrain rice or as a side of vegetables. It can also be enjoyed cold in a wrap, or as a salad on a generous bed of leafy greens.
