Easy vegan curry made with coconut milk, warming spices, and your favorite veggies. Serve over quinoa or cauliflower rice or by itself!
Helllllllo.
Did you watch the Academy Awards on Sunday?
I may or may not have teared up over my dinner when Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper took the stage to sing “Shallow”.
Oh, maybe I didn’t tell you yet– I finally watched A Star Is Born last week and I’ve been low-key obsessed with the movie and music ever since.
Which looks like me listening to the soundtrack on repeat in the studio with my camera hovering over my curry.
Curry! Do you like it?
Dan hates the smell of it, but I love everything about it, so he dealt with the aromatic kitchen after I tested and retested today’s post.
The Quickest Vegan Curry is what you need in your life to get you through the rest of winter.
This curry recipe is stripped down and super simple so you can whip it up in no time flat.
Okay, not “no time”, but under thirty minutes.
Here’s what you need:
- diced onion
- canned coconut milk light
- red curry paste
- filtered water
- garlic powder
- 4 heaping cups of your favorite chopped vegetables
All you do is throw it together in pot for a succinct supper.
For veggies, I love a mix of carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and snow pea pods.
Some other ideas are bell pepper, bok choy, and sweet potato.
Take your pick and be sure to adjust the cook time to ensure all veggies are tender before serving.
Everything simmers down in a golden broth that is fragrant and flavorful.
For thinner curry, add more filtered water to stretch the consistency, but I usually love mine chunky and thick.
Ladle it over cooked quinoa with additional protein like tofu or chickpeas or enjoy it bowled by itself!
The Quickest Vegan Curry is perfect for a fast plant-based 1-pot meal.
This week I had all of the vegetables chopped in advance (thank you, meal prep!) so it was easy to have curry on the table in 20 minutes.
No scurry for curry, here.
If don’t want as many leftovers, try halving the recipe and use just one can of coconut milk instead for an easy split.
For toppings, I love fresh squeezed lime, cilantro, and red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.
Enjoy!

I was in the mood for a seemingly effortless curry recipe and this was it! Very simple and easy. I also added some chunks of baked sweet potato, which made it even better! Thanks Lauren <3
Hi Caroline,
Thank you for your comment! I’ve been craving this recipe recently! It is so simple! Love the sweet potato addition- sounds so good! 🙂
XOXO Lauren
Lauren does it again! I have a ton of recipes saved on IG that I’ll never use, but I made this a few hours after she posted it! I had to add more curry paste and chili because I love heat. This dish is great because you can just throw whatever you have in a pot and go. I added bell pepper and potato as well. Huge hit in the house and a one lot wonder, 10/10 would make again.
