Indian Summer Veggie Bowl
This is my new favourite Indian Summer dish. It's easy to prepare and incredibly good for you.
Every single ingredient in this recipe has health benefits that will keep you energised and make you feel great.
It's packed with good fats, phytonutrients, healthy carbs, fibre and a substantial amount of protein. And, it tastes divine.
