An amazing vegan dish which is delicious, healthy and really, really easy to cook. One pan is all it takes to create this tasty Indonesian curry. Adding peanut butter at the end gives the curry a lovely rich taste and reminded us of the other famous Indonesian dish, gado-gado.

Notes
This curry goes particularly well with brown rice or a mixture of brown and white rice. We like to use jasmine rice with riceberry but any long grain rice works.
