Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth 480 ml
  • 2 potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
  • ½ cup cooked chickpeas drained (85 g)
  • 1 cup peas frozen (160 g)
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium broccoli head cut into florets
  • 1 cup fresh spinach 30 g
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk 240 ml
  • 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 1- inch ginger piece peeled and grated
  • 2-3 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp red chili flakes
  • ½ lime juice only
  • Fresh parsley leaves to garnish
  • Vegan yogurt to serve

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, add the onion, garlic, and 1 tbsp vegetable broth. Sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. If needed, add more vegetable broth to avoid sticking.
  • Add the potatoes, turmeric, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and chili and cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring frequently, while gradually adding more of vegetable broth.
  • Next, add the coconut milk, the rest of the vegetable broth, curry paste, chickpeas, peas, and bell pepper. Stir to combine, then cover with a lid and bring everything to a boil over medium heat.
  • Let the curry simmer for 15 minutes over low heat, then add the broccoli and spinach and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, add the lime juice, and mix to combine. Add more salt or other spices if desired.
  • Divide into serving bowls, garnish with parsley and add a dollop of soy yogurt. You can serve it warm on its own, over rice, quinoa, or with some freshly baked vegan naan.

Notes

  • You can swap the potatoes for sweet potatoes.
  • Instead of broccoli, bell pepper and spinach, you can use any other vegetables such as cauliflower, eggplant, zucchini, snow peas, mushrooms, carrots or corn.
  • You can make this recipe into a delicious curry soup by adding more liquid (especially water) and adjusting the spices accordingly.
  • If you want a non-spicy curry, simply omit the red chili flakes and choose a mild curry paste. Likewise, if you want it hotter, use more chili flakes and a hot curry paste.
