Fancy a curry in a hurry? Here, I’ve created a super simple, creamy vegan tofu curry that’s ready in 30 minutes. It’s perfect for a quick midweek dinner, and any leftovers can be used for lunch the next day (win!)
Curries are one of my favourite things to make in the kitchen. Mainly because they are full of flavour and adaptable for any type of diet. Here, I’ve turned a traditional yoghurt-based curry into a vegan alternative just by making a few simple swaps.
This vegan tofu curry is mildly-spiced with hints of sweetness coming from the coconut sugar and sweet red pepper. By adding fresh chilli, you’ll also notice the subtle kicks of spice as you enjoy it with your choice of Indian bread and/or Asian side salsa.
How to Make Curry Vegan?
Most vegetarian curries are vegan-friendly. Check the recipe – where milk, cream and/or yoghurt are used, you can swap them for dairy-free alternatives. In this recipe, I’ve used Alpro’s dairy-free yoghurt and Rebel Kitchen’ dairy-free mylk.
Also, you might notice that Paneer cheese is popular in Indian curries. It’s an Indian cheese that’s a great holder of flavour. Instead, you could use tofu or any other plant-based protein. Perhaps you might wanna keep it simple and stick to protein-packed legumes/pulses? In this curry, I used organic firm tofu.
What’s the difference between refined and unrefined sugar?
Refined sugar is highly processed and doesn’t contain any nutritional value. In contrast, unrefined sugar retains all of sugar’s natural nutrients such as iron, calcium and magnesium.
Examples of raw unrefined sugars are honey, brown rice syrup, maple sugar, cane juice, date sugar, fruit and molasses. All of which are better choices for sweetening your foods. This is why I used coconut sugar for sweetening this vegan curry, as it’s more natural and far less processed.
I hope you give this lovely Creamy Vegan Tofu Curry recipe a try. I’m sure its ease and short cooking time will give you a newfound love for cooking curries. If you do, please leave a comment with your feedback.
