Tomato, Eggplant, and Spinach Curry with Shrimp
and cauliflower rice

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
We've brought back this tomato curry because it's as easy as Indian food can get. We've added eggplant and spinach to make this dish extra hearty while keeping it super healthy.
Smarts: We're doing over cauliflower rice to keep it paleo and using shrimp to keep it light, but you can use whatever protein you like! Regardless of what protein you use, you'll love this easy, homemade tomato curry sauce.
