With the transition from winter to spring comes the desire for lighter meals. Yet for most of us, it’s still doesn’t feel like spring outside. So while our brain is sending signals for spring-like food, our bodies are still craving meals that warm us up.
This curry is the ideal trade off. Yam and chickpeas, the two of which are generous yet will not overload you, are swimming in a velvety coconut milk stock that is rich with Thai red stew glue and zesty ginger.
However long you go after a Thai red curry glue that doesn’t contain fish sauce (we like the Thai Kitchen brand, which is not difficult to track down at supermarkets), this dinner is veggie lover. It’s likewise normally without gluten. However, regardless of whether you eat meat, dairy, and gluten, this dish will fulfill. It’s healthy, sufficiently hot, and asks to be served over steamed rice to absorb all the smooth sauce. Gracious, and on the off chance that you required one more motivation to make this curry ASAP, the entire thing meets up in less than 30 minutes.

- 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
