Creamy, high protein, vegan chick’n & cauliflower curry
I’m back with another hearty recipe for you try! Vegan chicken and cauliflower, cooked in a delicious creamy coconut sauce.
I love a creamy curry, and this recipe is certainly that! The addition of coconut milk and peanut butter take this to another level of indulgence. I sometimes swap out coconut milk for light coconut milk in recipes but this needs the higher fat content to achieve that thicker, creamy texture.
The sauce of this recipe can be used with any kind of filling of your choice, I’ve used a chicken alternative called ‘This isn’t chicken’ and cauliflower. If you wanted to try an alternative, try some lentils, chickpeas or sweet potato?
I served mine with my 2 ingredient flatbreads! They are great for dipping and using as a spoon! You can find the recipe here. All you need for them is
- yogurt (this can be dairy free)
- flour
Once the dough is prepped you can cook them while the curry is simmering. Alternatively if you want something a little fancier and have some yeast then my naan bread recipe is great addition too!
As always, let me know if you give this a try and what you think in the comments below!
