Vegan peanut curry is made with a mixture of Thai curry paste and coconut milk for a creamy sauce which is perfect with crispy tofu. This peanut butter curry is such an easy dinner!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…curries are just the perfect weeknight dinner ✨

I’ve gotta say this curry is one of the easiest I’ve made. Once you’ve fried up the tofu nice and crispy (a non-essential but delicious step), then you chuck everything else in the pot and simmer for a few minutes until the veggies are cooked through. 

I like mine served with boiled rice and a spritz of extra lime and OMG it’s unbelievable how much flavour you get from these simple ingredients. 

If you prefer you could serve it with another grain of your choice or even on its own as more of a soup-like deal. However you have it, I promise it’ll be delicious and will be a dream for leftovers too.

Why we love this peanut curry…

It’s an easy vegan recipe which uses plenty of vegetables and nice crispy tofu.

This curry is healthy thanks to all the veggies, the protein packed tofu and spices.

You can customise this recipe however you like. You can add any veggies you’ve got lying around or you can try a different protein.

It’s so incredibly easy to throw this curry together on a weeknight and you can keep all of the basics of the sauce on hand so that you can make it any time.
