Notes

  • I love using baby bok choy because they are tender and delicious. Look for bunches with fresh green leaves without any bruises, wrinkles or discoloration.
  • You can also use Swiss chard or baby kale instead of spinach. You can also skip these greens altogether and make the curry with just bok choy.
  • Feel free to substitute carrots with other veggies. Green beans, bell pepper or potato. etc. are all great options.
  • Use kitchen king masala instead of garam masala for a spicy twist.
  • Add plant based protein like edamame, cooked beans, tofu or paneer to make this a wholesome dish.
