Vegan Chickenless Curry

chickenless curry

One of my favorite dishes before I turned vegan is chicken curry. I decided to make a vegan version of this dish and it turned out to be very good. Not something you’d call a “watered-down version of the real thing”.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 red bell pepper
1 carrot
2-3 potatoes
garlic
onion
tofu (I used organic tofu but the white one is okay too)
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil/sesame oil
Coconut milk
curry powder

PROCEDURE
Saute the garlic with olive oil over a very low fire. Add the onion when the garlic is already a little brown. Add the coconut milk mixed with a little water, stir continuously so the coconut milk won’t look curdled. Put the carrots, potatoes, and red bellpepper in. Put the curry powder (it’s really up to your taste, how strong you want the curry flavor to be), stir continuously. Season with salt and pepper until the taste is just right for you. Put in the tofu cubes. Cook until the potatoes are done.

That’s it! It’s very easy to cook and quick to prepare. You’ll notice the rice we used is still the white rice. Brown rice is actually better but we haven’t gone to the grocery to buy our supply for the week yet. Anyway, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish for lunch today. Try it, it’s delicious. :)

I’ve only made the decision to turn vegan and not consume any more animal products very recently. I went to Dr. Tam Mateo’s health seminar at No. 433 F. Legaspi St., Maybunga Pasig City two weeks ago, not because I was curious. If it were totally up to me, I would probably never have set foot in a seminar like that unless I was sick with something already. I was there because I went with my mom for her consultation. She has cancer. A few weeks after her consultation my husband and I went with her to attend the health seminar, and that was really something that forced me to acknowledge a lot of things that I’ve been asking myself before but was consciously avoiding. I wrote about the experience here. Please read if you have time.
