Raw Zucchini Curry

     Tonight I really wanted some curry. I mean really wanted some curry! We were driving home and we were very hungry. I was talking about what I wanted for supper and I just could not get this Chicken Tikka Masala recipe, that I had not made for probably 3 years, out of my mind. It was the only thing that sounded good and boy did it sound good! The problem, how to make it raw?


     I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but it turned out amazing! I julienned some zucchini, thawed some frozen peas, made some coconut butter (for the first time I must say!) and made a very yummy curry in the vita-mix. Oh, my, goodness!!! I am without words, well almost. (*smile*) I am the type of person that does not like to measure ingredients, so although I can give you an ingredient list I can not give you exact amounts. This is close to the amounts that I used. My husbands only complaint was that there was not more of it! What is one of your favorite non-raw recipes that you have turned, or want to turn, into a raw dish? I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!
