Vegetarian curry recipes

Making healthy vegetarian curries at home can be a delicious and nutritious way to lose weight. Here are some tips to make your curries healthier and more weight-loss-friendly, along with the nutritional benefits of plant-based curries.

• Use plenty of vegetables: Vegetables are packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals, and they're often 0 Points. Add a variety of colourful vegetables like capsicums, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, and spinach to your curries to boost the nutritional value and add flavour.

• Use plant-based protein sources: Instead of using meat, use plant-based protein sources like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, or tempeh—all ZeroPoint foods. These sources of protein are low in fat and high in fibre, which can help keep you feeling full longer.

• Use herbs and spices: Herbs and spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and ginger not only add flavour to your curries but also have many health benefits. Turmeric, for example, has anti-inflammatory properties, while ginger can aid digestion.

• Avoid processed foods: Avoid using processed foods like canned sauces or packaged mixes, which can be high in sodium and preservatives. Instead, make your own sauces using fresh ingredients.

Plant-based curries have many nutritional benefits, including being high in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. They're also low in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
