Creamy Coconut Vegan Korma

A creamy coconut vegan korma that can be ready in under half an hour…

Lately I’ve been trying to eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes. I don’t follow a vegetarian diet. I eat seafood, meat and poultry but lately I’ve been noticing that we never have any meat-free days. My partner loves meat and eating some kind of meat everyday feels like a must, and that encouraged me to start meat-free days. I love a creamy coconut korma, and usually make it with chicken and serve it with white rice, quinoa or mashed potatoes. So I thought why not omit the chicken and make the korma with butter beans instead for a meat-free day. The result turned out very delicious, and my whole family loved it!

Coconut korma must be made from scratch, and you will be surprised at how easy is this Korma to make. And it always turns out much better than the ready made korma!

LOVE CANNED FOOD

Love Canned Food have challenged me to create a summer recipe using at least 3 different types of canned foods. So I came up with vegan coconut bean korma. To make this, I used canned chopped tomatoes, a can of coconut milk and a can of butter beans.

Love Canned Food is a celebration of all things canned. Beans, pulses, tomatoes, fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. With a large variety of food that is available to buy in cans, it is easy to prepare well-balanced, healthy and affordable meals all year round. And with 98% of us buying it already, we are clearly a nation of can lovers!

I personally really like cooking with canned food, I find it very convenient as I never have to worry about running short on beans, fish or tomatoes. The fact that canned food takes ages to expire makes life much easier, so I just buy cans of chopped tomatoes in bulk and leave them in the pantry until I need to use them. Canned food is very affordable, it’s definitely cheaper than buying the food fresh and it reduces food waste. It also tastes great, as the flavour of harvested, farmed or caught food is locked in the can!

VEGAN KORMA

This vegan korma is naturally paleo and gluten free (if you don’t serve it with naan bread), and it’s perfect for a quick and delicious Indian dinner. If you’re looking for more great vegan dinner recipes, try this Vegan Shepherds Pie. I’m sure that you will love it!
