    Vegan Indian Curry made with Healthy, Everyday Ingredients

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on January 6, 2022 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    This Indian-style, dairy-free vegetable curry dish hails from a 1998 issue of Vegetarian Times. We originally shared it fifteen years ago! But as I always say, recipes are timeless, and this one continues to be a favorite weeknight dinner for many. It’s a basic recipe that uses ingredients you can find in any grocery store. And unlike Indian curry in many restaurants, this version is made without any dairy and is vegan-friendly!

    Curry powder is a popular blend found in the spice section of supermarkets. But for greater depth of flavor, you can make your own! We have a quick homemade curry powder recipe that uses nine spices. Don’t worry, if you have a stocked spice cabinet, you probably have all of these spices on hand!

    In a pinch, or for a light dish, you can use water as the liquid in this dairy-free vegetable curry. But this recipe is versatile. Tomato juice can be used, which compliments the curry very well and adds an extra dose of nutrients. Or you can go for a richer curry, like pictured, with canned coconut milk (go ahead and shake the can!).

    Feel free to add or swap in other vegetables that you have on hand. You can use sweet potatoes in place of the potatoes, add carrots with the potatoes, or sub broccoli for the cauliflower. Serve it with rice to soak up all the goodness.

    • 2 teaspoons oil
    • 2 cups diced raw potato
    • 1 cup chopped onion
    • 3 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    • 1 tablespoon curry powder

      May I cook the curry in advance and reheat. And the easiest/most effective way to do this.

        Hi Myrna, I’m sorry, I missed your comment before! This curry should store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days (I can’t recommend longer storage for any type of leftovers), and can be reheated on the stove top or in the microwave. It can be frozen for longer storage. But I would personally only add the spinach before eating. Long storage and repeated freezing of spinach can affect the taste and texture quite a bit.
