Traditional curries are a favourite for many vegans, but making one from scratch is time-consuming and expensive. This is a really simple and easy recipe, that's high in protein and mildly spiced with curry paste. You can use whichever vegetables you have on hand, substitute chickpeas for a vegan protein of your choice like tofu, and adjust the amount of coconut milk and water to taste. Serve with rice or vegan naan.
