Zucchini, green peas, and cauliflower add color to this quick curry bowl stealing the spotlight from the chicken. To make it a vegetarian meal, you could easily use chickpeas or tofu instead. Fresh mint accentuates the earthy flavour of the ground curry powder and the dollop of Greek yogurt gives the final dish a luscious mouthfeel. Take care to cook quinoa just until it is tender, since it becomes mushy when overcooked. Look for tiny spirals separating from the individual grains, which indicate that the quinoa is done. This dish is satisfying enough to eat by itself, but you can serve it with warm naan bread for heartier meal.
