Possibly the easiest vegan curry recipe you could imagine! Breaking down the components of how I throw together a simple, customisable, and nourishing curry meal.

When I was in America over the winter, I got to share a number of my staple simple meals with my non-vegan family. One of their favourites was this SUPER easy vegan curry. Every time I made it my family demolished it, and my sister actually asked if I could post the recipe on my blog so they could continue making it after I went back to the UK. So I’m finally getting it up!

Components of an Easy Curry

Curries are one of my favourite go-to comfort meals, and they can be really quick and simple to throw together. Here are the main components I aim to tick off when putting together an easy vegan curry: 

1. A source of carbs – I tend to opt for potatoes or sweet potatoes
2. A source of plant protein – I like to add beans, and chickpeas are my favourite! Tofu and tempeh are also good options.
3. Vegetables – I always just use whatever vegetables I have on hand. At the time I had just received a delivery from Hungry Harvest (you can read my review post of their service here), and so I used onions and potatoes from the delivery. We also had some carrots and broccoli in the fridge so I tossed those in. Feel free to use whatever veggies you want!
4. Extra greens – I always like to add extra greens to my meals for added health and nutrients. I used kale from the Hungry Harvest delivery in this recipe. Spinach is another one of my go-to greens. Both fresh and frozen work!
5. Curry sauce or powder – A good jar of curry sauce can make cooking so so easy! I used a jar of Maya Kaimal Foods’ Kashmiri Curry Indian Simmer Sauce. You could also use a medium curry powder with additional spices (I like turmeric and cumin), and mix it with a tin of tomatoes and coconut milk (check out my go-to Easy Vegan Sweet Potato Curry if you’re interested in seeing my staple spices).
6. A base of grains – I like to serve my curry meals over a bed of grains, such as rice or quinoa. This makes the meal even more substantial, but definitely isn’t necessary.

Getting in all of these components makes for such a hearty, filling, and flavourful curry meal!
