Whimsical Walnut Curry - Vegan recipe hero image

Hey there!

I can’t tell you how much joy this Whimsical Walnut Curry brings me.

It’s one of those dishes that I whip up when I want to impress my friends who think vegan food is boring.

The walnuts give it a fun crunch and a depth of flavor that’s just out of this world!

Plus, it’s super easy to make, so you can enjoy it any night of the week.

  • ✓Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • ✓No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • ✓Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • ✓Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using fresh spinach, but if you’ve got kale or another leafy green, go for it! The walnuts add a lovely crunch and richness, but if you're nut-free, you could swap them for sunflower seeds. Just make sure to keep the flavors balanced!

Tips & Notes

  • •I like to toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the curry for extra flavor.
  • •Feel free to experiment with other veggies – bell peppers or zucchini would also be fab additions.

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes, I’ll add a spoonful of peanut butter for an extra layer of nuttiness!
  • •You could also throw in some diced sweet potatoes for a heartier dish.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It should last about 3-4 days. Just give it a good stir and reheat when you're ready to dive back in!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this curry ahead of time?

Absolutely! It stores well in the fridge for a couple of days. Just reheat on the stove or in the microwave.

What can I serve with this curry?

Rice is a classic, but it’s also great with quinoa or even on top of a baked potato if you’re feeling adventurous!
