Smooth and silky curry sauces are my new favorite things to cook. My Tikka Masala base is very similar to the one in Vegan Butter Chicken. In both recipes I’m using cashews for creaminess. I decided to play with different textures of slightly crunchy roasted chickpeas and juicy pattypan squash. The pattypan squash is firmer…

Courgettes Stuffed with Red Lentil Curry
Look at this lovely little courgette. It’s asking you to stuff it with some delicious flavorsome goodness. My choice of mild red lentil curry hits the spot and it’s absolutely perfect with a side of yellow turmeric rice. The dish is just slightly spicy but so fragrant! Feel free to add more hot paprika or…
Seitan in Thai Red Curry Sauce
Recently I’m getting bored with tofu in curries and stir-fries. Plus I wanted to serve something “meaty” for my omnivorous guests. I decided to make seitan and spice it up to mask any weird flavors that a non-vegan person could taste. So I ended up with this seitan in Thai red curry sauce and everybody…
Vegan Dirty Rice
Rice and beans are classic combination in vegan cooking. My vegan dirty rice makes a delicious and nutritious side dish or it can work as a filling in your lunch wraps. Keep leftovers in a fridge for a quick meal. I’m using black beans here for a contrast dirty look. You can add some green…
Vegan bean chili (Fancy free)
You don’t need meat or meat replacements to make this vegan chili taste fantastic. Only beans and vegetables. Pure power of the plants. Actually I added some walnuts for texture and richness because I like how they taste in such dishes. But it’s completely optional. I like to serve my vegan chili with fresh lime…

It is perfect base for creative mind. I like to play with different spices and condiments. From light and tangy to rich, creamy, spicy…
Goan Ros (Yellow split peas curry with soya chunks)
Today I’m making curry again Goan Ros. Goan Chana Ros is white peas cooked in curry coconut gravy. I made it with yellow split peas because I have plenty at home and I wanted to use it for a long time. Soya chunks (or TVP) make it meaty and filling, but you can totally skip it….
Vegan butter chicken
I must say I never tried real butter chicken. But the popularity of this dish makes me super curious. So curious that I went through the trouble of making my own chicken-style seitan. And my own vegan butter chicken without any meat or butter. The sauce is silky and creamy, the spices are perfectly balanced….
Kidney beans curry (Rajma Masala)
One of my favorite ways to cook beans is to make this kidney beans curry. Serve it over rice for a filling main meal or as one of the side dishes. It is very fast to make if you already have cooked beans on hand or you can just use canned ones. I prefer to…
