Ingredients
- 1 medium onion minced
- 5 cloves garlic finely minced or grated
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric
- 2 roma tomatoes or other medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium sweet potato peeled and chopped into bite-size pieces
- ½ lb Brussels sprouts halved
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- ½ c fresh cilantro chopped
- ½ lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ tablespoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute stirring occassionally for about 7 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
- Add garlic along with all spices and stir for 30 more seconds until fragrant.
- Add in tomatoes, sweet potato, Brussels Sprouts, chickpeas, coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Bring the vegan curry to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat, cover with a lid, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the veggies have softened.
- Finally, add lime juice, stir, and adjust the seasoning.
- Remove vegetable curry from the heat and serve with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
Notes
- Want to keep it low-fat? You can omit the oil and sauté the vegetables in a little bit of vegetable broth, or Tamari. Additionally, you can substitute coconut milk with any other non-dairy milk like almond milk, cashew milk, or soy milk.
- Vegetables: If you don't have Brussels sprouts on hand, you can substitute them with other vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, peas, zucchini, or eggplant. Since chickpeas have a mild and neutral taste, I recommend substituting them with similar beans such as Cannellini Beans or Great Northern Beans. Lentils also make a good substitution.
- Protein: Since chickpeas have a mild and neutral taste, I recommend substituting them with similar beans such as Cannellini beans or Great Northern beans. Lentils also make a good substitution. Alternatively, you can even use extra-firm tofu or soy curls.
- Don't overcook your veggies: Avoid overcooking your veggies because they will mush up and lose their nutritional value. Vegetables should ideally be cooked until they are barely soft but still have some crunch.
- Storage: Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Reheat in a microwave-safe dish for 30–40 seconds, or simmer in a medium pot until warm.
- Freezing: If you make a double batch of the best vegan curry, you can freeze it for later. Make sure to cool it first and then distribute it between freezer-friendly bags. Lay the vegetarian curry flat in a freezer. The easy plant-based curry will keep for up to 3 months. Don't forget to label the curry with the date of freezing.
- Defrosting: To thaw, leave the bag with a simple vegan curry to defrost in the refrigerator overnight, and then simmer in a pot for a few minutes. If you're short on time, you can throw a bag of curry in a pot of warm water, defrost it there, and then reheat it on the stovetop until bubbly.
