The best veggie curries to warm up to
In need of a veggie-friendly dish? Our tasty curry recipes will do the trick this winter.
A vegetable curry is a cheap but flavoursome way to help get in your 5 a day! Serve with rice or naan for a tasty midweek meal.
Vegetables don't need to be cooked over a low heat for a long time, unlike meat, to make them tender, so they are a speedier option. If you want to add protein to your curry, then use paneer and chickpeas in there too.
If you're a fan of these veggie curries, then we have plenty of vegetarian recipes to choose from.
