Easy swiss chard curry with potatoes, so simple and delicious.
Swiss chard is in season now and making an easy curry is a delicious way to enjoy them.
You could also use green beans or cauliflower, both are delicious options for this easy curry.
If I am honest, I like to make homemade curry from scratch, using fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric… but sometimes I do not have a lot of time to cook so good quality curry powder is also an option.
Make sure you use a good quality curry powder as it will make a huge difference in such a simple dish.
