Coconut Milk and Vegetable Curry with Thyroid-Nourishing Turmeric
This curry is a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of turmeric. Turmeric is a spice that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including thyroid disorders. It is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and it has been shown to improve thyroid function in some studies.
I first came across this recipe when I was traveling in India. I was staying in a small village in the Himalayas, and I was invited to a traditional Indian dinner. The main course was a coconut milk and vegetable curry, and it was absolutely delicious. I asked the cook for the recipe, and she was kind enough to share it with me. I have been making this curry ever since, and it has become one of my favorite dishes. I love the creamy texture of the coconut milk, and the spices give it a warm and flavorful taste. I also like that it is a very healthy dish, and it is a great way to get my daily dose of turmeric.
