Curcumin, the active ingredient in tumeric has been used for many years as an anti-inflammatory agent for the body. This delicious stirfry/curry dish has long been my go to plan for a fast dinner that utilises any and almost every vegetable you may have in the fridge. The spices are delicious and therapeutic, the lime is refreshing and the chilli if you choose to add it at the end gives it that extra zing. The leftovers make a great addition to your lunch salad the next day when cold.
