(no) Butter (no) Chicken Curry

Vegan Curry is just my favourite food 🤤 (besides Burgers obviously!) And this one definitely doesn't disappoint! It even won a prize on Instructables 😀

This recipe was my favourite when I was a carnivore and converting it was super simple! And it is even more amazing considering it is guilt free! The spices are just perfect 😍 and the soya chunks have the perfect texture - I was wondering when I first started soaking them whether they were sponges or floating bread waiting to be thrown into a lake for the ducks to eat 🤣

The time it takes to make this recipe will depend on what soya you choose to use, I had to soak mine for an hour before I could start marinating it. If you aren’t a fan of soya feel free to substitute in any sort of protein like chickpeas or beans. I’m sure butter beans would be delicious!

Let me know how you enjoyed this recipe!  😀 Or send me your favourite for it to be veganised!

Instructions

 

• Prepare your soya chunks according to the packet - I just had to soak mine for an hour 😊 Yours might need cooking or you may be ready to start straight away!

  Next, marinate the soya in 5ml chilli, 5ml turmeric, salt and pepper for at least 15 minutes 😀
• Heat the coconut oil in the frying pan.

  Sauté the onions till they're soft (Recipes always say 10 minutes, but I've never cooked an onion that quickly 🙄)

  Cook the spices until fragrant (you'll know this curry is going to be a GOOOOOD one after you smell these spices 🤩)

  Add the tomato sauce, water, coconut cream and soya.

  Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until they curry is the thickness you like 😀

  Season to taste!
