Ingredients:

• coconut milk – use full-fat coconut milk for a rich sauce or any other thick non-dairy milk such as oat milk or cashew milk if you want to lower the calories or don’t like coconut milk.
• spices: a bold Indian spice mix containing coriander, ground cumin, ground cardamom, black pepper, paprika, ground mustard
• onions, chili, and garlic – always a good base for any dish!
• veggies: I use what I have sitting in my fridge and freezer! This time, a mix of bell peppers, cauliflower, green bean, and frozen squash.
• Tomato purée for that wonderful color and for some plant-based umami

Tips:

• Use whichever veggies you have. Think sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, zucchini, carrots, seasonal vegetables, etc, chopped to about 3/4 inch or similar sizes
• I recommend full-fat coconut milk or cashew milk for the ultimate creaminess.
• If you want to add some cool creaminess, top this dish with a dollop of coconut yogurt or vegan sour cream.
• Cooking the casserole longer than 40 minutes will make the vegetables too soft so don’t overdo it.
• Like it spicy? Spice up the casserole by adding some cayenne pepper.
