- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp turmeric, powder
- 2 jalapenos, optional, adjust to taste
- 3 tomatoes, medium, cut into small chunks
- ¾ tsp salt, sea salt, adjust to taste

- spiralizer
Instructions
Curry Sauce
- In a large pan, on medium heat, add olive oil and fry garlic and ginger until lightly golden.
- Next, add onion, stir and continue to fry until golden.
- Follow with curry powder, paprika, cumin, turmeric and jalapenos. Turn the heat on low to prevent the spices from burning. Once the spices release their aroma, stir in the tomatoes, cover and cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Once the tomatoes are soft and mushy, follow with salt, lemon juice and cilantro. I use my spatula to "mash" and break up any larger tomato pieces. Once done, you will end up with a thick and delicious Indian curry sauce.
Zucchini Noodles Spaghetti
- Now it's time to spiralize the zucchini. Use an attachment for your stand mixer or a hand-held spiralizer to create think zucchini noodles spaghetti.
- To serve, pour the curry sauce over the zucchini noodles spaghetti, mix to coat every spiral and enjoy hot.
Notes
- Cook on medium heat to ensure you retain as much nutrition from the vegetables and prevent the curry from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Boost protein: I enjoy this dish with a generous helping of hemp seeds on top. It's an easy way to add protein. You could also use beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, chicken, shrimp or fish.
- There always room for more vegetables. This curry sauce with zucchini noodles pairs wonderfully with this salad.
