I have been obsessed with making huge pots of curry for dinner. It’s perfect for meal prep, so warming in this colder weather, takes less than 30 minutes to make and it’s straight up delish.

I paired my curry with basmati rice but feel free to enjoy it with quinoa, brown rice or by itself.

serving 4 servings
cook time 30 minutes
total time 30 minutes

the ingredients

  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 2 cups cauliflower chopped into small florets
  • 1 15 oz can of chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1 large sweet potato cubed
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 carton of veggie broth
  • 1 12 oz bag of fresh spinach or half bag of frozen spinach
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 bell peppers diced
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • 2 tsp tapioca starch or arrowroot optional if you want it thicker

instructions

  • Get out a soup pot or large pan and turn on high heat. Add the cauliflower, sweet potato, peppers, chickpeas, and spices. Add veggie broth to pot/pan just until it covers all of your ingredients.
  • While stirring every couple of minutes, keep the curry at medium to high heat, you want to make sure its boiling so that the potatoes cook.
  • At the 20-minute mark, stir in the coconut milk and peas. Cook for another 10 minutes then add in the spinach. Stir it in until it's wilted.
  • If you desire a thicker curry, mix together 2 tsp tapioca with 1 tbsp water, then pour into the curry and stir for a few minutes. You will see it immediately thicken.
  • Serve and enjoy!

In good health,

Danielle

    Do you think this would still be great with oat milk in place of the coconut milk?

    1. Danielle Keith says:

      I’d use almond milk, hemp milk or flax milk

      1. Mike O says:

        Trying to limit fat so used almond milk with some coconut extract. Worked out nicely. Really enjoy your recipes.

    So so delicious! I just made this for the first time and already know it’s going to become one of my go-to recipes. I’m not vegan, but am trying to eat more plant-based and cut back on meat and dairy for health reasons – this recipe knocks it out of the park. So satisfying, and so much flavor! The only change I made was leaving out the coriander.5 stars
