Directions
1. In a large saucepan, sauté the onions, garlic, and carrots in oil on medium-high heat until the onions become translucent. Add the vegetables, curry, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne, stirring often so they don't stick to the pan, cooking for 2-4 minutes. Add the milk, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork. Stir in the peas and Braggs (or soy sauce), and cook uncovered on medium-high heat stirring constantly until the liquid has thickened.
2. Serve over rice or noodles
Note: you can use whatever vegetables you have kicking around (e.g., spinach, kale, green onions).

For those concerned about the fat content - it may help to note where the fat is coming from. None of the fats are saturated and they come from the healthy fats category. Theat still may be too much fat, but I thought that was worth noting all the same.

Learned this recipe in a Cancer Project cooking class - Soooooo good! Original recipe calls for broccoli, a can of drained chickpeas and cup of green peas added at the end with the lite soy sauce Use low fat coconut milk,and a tad more curry and cayenne and you will NOT be disappointed

I made this with broccoli, zucchini, mushroom, baby corn and no potatoes, and vanilla soy milk. It was fabulous. Even my picky teenagers liked it.

An elegant, flexible vegetable dish. I used different veggies (asparagus, spinach, sweet pepper) and Ras Al Hanout instead of curry because that is what I had. Also used non-fat evaporated milk: not vegetarian but lowfat diet. It was creamy, full of taste, with excellent texture.

This was tasty and easy to make. You can pretty much use whatever veggies you have lying around. I added a bit of red curry paste to spice it up a bit.

Thanks to the prior notes, I added chick peas and broccoli. I think this might be one of those recipes that's better the 2nd day when the flavors have a chance to meld a bit. But I still really enjoyed it tonight!

i'm making this tonight & plan to add cubed tofu as well. to avoid the grittiness mentioned above, i'm whisking the spices into the milk first (i know they should cook in oil, but oh well). as an afterthought i added another 1/4 C. milk with about 1 T. corn starch to thicken the sauce. 5 stars!

This was my kind of meal! I added some yellow bell pepper and my husband thought it should have a touch more curry powder....but we loved it!

I tried it with vanilla rice milk, and it was still very good, but I think the coconut milk would really make it sing... Tried it again with lite coconut milk and served over soba noodles. I'm changing my rating to a 5!

This was AWESOME!! I read the reviews and added 1/4 c. more milk, and a little more of the spices, and we LOVED it! next time I will use low fat coconut milk, though, as that's a lot of fat. But it was delicious !

very tasty, enjoyed by my vegetarian daughter as a main dish over rice, and by the rest of us as a veggie side dish. It's always nice to find recipes that work for the whole family.

It's good but not something I'd make on a regular basis. I don't have all the ingredients in the house at all times. Lots of sat. fat for sure.

I expected it to be creamier. Maybe I need to add more coconut milk next time. (I used reduced fat coconut milk.) I also added broccoli to this recipe.

Sounded yummy! Smelled Yummy But hated the taste! Left a gritty taste with bad after taste in my mouth. I ended up throwing it out after one bite.

This is a yummy meal, full of fresh veggies and fiber, definitely one I can see becoming a family regular. I used soy milk rather than coconut milk, and it was very good, though perhaps lacking whatever sweetness the coconut milk might have added.
