Love a good vegan curry recipe? You NEED to try out my Tofu Coconut Curry as well as my Easy Cauliflower Curry and my Tofu Tikka Masala!
I teased this recipe quite a few weeks ago on my Instagram but I’ve been waiting to post it because I wanted to film the youtube video for it as well. IT’S SO GOOD and I wanted to share it across every single platform that I could :D This is going to be one of your new favorite weeknight dinners!
Since my Loaded Veggie Tikka Masala recipe is consistently one of the most popular recipes on my blog, I figured that it was time I made a couple more delicious curry recipes for you to try because we’re obsessed in my house!
Ingredients needed
First let’s look at the star ingredients in this coconut curry:
- Sweet potato – our star ingredient :)
- Cauliflower & Carrot – other veggies would be great options as well so use what you have on hand! Adding in a diced yellow onion to this would be delicious.
- Can of coconut milk – I usually use lite-coconut milk but you can also use full-fat coconut milk as desired!
- Green peas
- Chickpeas
- Bell peppers- you can use any color but I always opt for the sweet ones.
- Almond butter – peanut butter or other nut/ seed butters work well too.
- Optional add ins: fresh ginger would be amazing added! A handful of fresh spinach wilted into the curry at the end is also something I have tried and LOVE.
