So flavorful and easy and customizable! Love the cherry tomatoes at the end!
Easy and delicious! It’s my go to :) always skip cherry tomatoes since I’m not a big fan of them in warm dishes but still full of flavour. 10/10!
Easy, comforting, and chock full of veggies…what more could you ask of a dish? 🫶
Turned out delicious! Do try.
Looove this chickpea curry recipe 🔥
A new favorite!
It was amazing!!! It was lovely and rich.
I think this is my new favorite meal! So easy to make (lots of chopping and setup, but then you just drop it all in stage-wise) and so so tasty. I'll be making this for lunches over and over!
So tasty! We absolutely love this meal.
Just made this. Sooooo good!! Didn’t have fresh spinach so used frozen. Amazing taste.
Been cooking this curry for years and never got tired of it. Great for meal-prep and freeze too. One pot, easy, fast, nutritious and delicious. This recipe has it all! I specially like the cherry tomatoes here. Thank you, PUL team!
Loved it, and it was easy to make
Hi Saidia, this is Colwyne from Brisbane Australia 😊 thank you for your recipe. I cooked this one up last night, and it was delicious
Quick question-when you add a recipe to the nourish page, does this add one serving or as many servings as are noted one the recipe’s title page?
That was delicious, but a bit too much liquid. Added a chili for a little more spice. Thank you PUL.
I saw this recipe in one of your videos and once we made it, it became part of our menu 🤍
Delicious Sadya!! It’s the second time I am making this dish, now I have used black eyed peas and it turned out yummy!!Thank you for your ideas!!
Wonderul and delicious ❤ just prepared it
This is a classic favorite! I've been making this for a few years now. My daughter loves it too now. I have to make a double batch!
I was so excited to make this, and was quite disappointed with the unaltered results! I felt that it was lacking a good bit of flavor, so added rice vinegar, coconut aminos and some sriracha to spice it up. Other than the lack of spice/saltiness, I really enjoy all the ingredients together. Glad I know for next time!
This is the once recipe in the app I keep coming back to. I’ve done it for friends and its always a success. They always ask for the recipe and I’m happy to share it!
Easy to make and very delicious! My family enjoyed it so much they all went for seconds!
I added some chilli flakes and tumeric and had to sub one or two ingredients for something similar but will definitely be making this again. It's really tasty and easy to make.
Great and comes together quickly. Made with regular minute rice for speed.
I've been cooking this curry for years and I never get tired of it. The cherry tomatoes give a juicy and acid point that I love.
Tasty! 4 portion recipe turned out enough for 6 :)
For me this curry was ok but bit all over the place. There are so many different ingredients that the dish ends up with no focus. Removing the bell pepper and tomato would work better in my opinion. Also it is very bland with the only spice being curry powder. Adding cumin, coriander, and chill upped it a lot for me!
Delicious! Absolutely packed so full of veggies that I felt virtuous eating it hehehe! Super easy to make and really filling too. I couldn't find any red rice, so I'll have to look out so I can try that type. This was perfect after a long day though!
So easy,still delicious. Using lemon really makes the difference and became more flavourfull after a day of rest. Unfortunately I had no spinach, so I uses broccoli, but next time I will definietly try with spinach.
This was d e l i s h o u s ! Just - i made it THAI curry instead - so instead of curry and paprika powders i've added 1 tbsp of green curry paste for 2 portions and 1 tbsp of coconut sugar and 1 tbsp of soy sauce, as you make curry generally. Used green beans for spinach and no salt and pepper - cause curry paste and soy sauce. so just wanted to share how versatile that might be ! Also didn't need rice imo- chickpea was filling enough.
Wouldn't think of lemon, but that is a great add-on.
Also - do you think i could so anything with the water the cooked chickpeas *from frozen) cooked for 5 mins ? Like your chocolate mousse I've been wanting to try / Or isn't there enough 'substance' from cooking from frozen? Love, thanks .
Also i'd love for you to post your workout routine for inspiration !!
I made this, so delicious and easy.
Top recipe ! Just didn’t add the coconut milk as I wanted it light but it is delicious and I am going to do it again with it for sure
I've been making this many years now! So easy, healthy, colourful and tasty!! I sometimes freeze individual portions as well and the taste is good for whoever needs to know :)
This is the first recipe I try from PUL and all I have to say is that it is an amazing recipe!
The ingredients are easy to find in any supermarket and the steps to follow are very clear and simple.
The result is DELICIOUS with minimum effort. I will definitely do it again!
Love this curry! one of the first PUL recipes I cooked and still a favourite :D
So delicious! Thank you for this amazing recipe. I love your recipes and your videos. Greetings from Réunion Island
Had 2 bowls of this with white rice after making it for dinner! It is delicious and I love all the colours🌈
Perfect weeknight meal 🥘
Delicious! This will be in our rotation now.
This is a real staple in our house. We use this as a base and add roasted cauliflower made as per the roasted cauliflower lentil curry (we prefer the coconut milk base to the tomato base)
It was very good. I had to use reg. Tomato’s , frozen spinach ( I recommend to squeeze water out) . I love your easy cooking. I did not gave it 5 star because I had some better tasty other Rezepte from your curry line . Still will cook it again !
Any tip on what to use instead of coconut milk please? Apparently it's yet too strong of a taste for me as I am only transitioning to plant based. Thanks!
Just made this one for the first time. It's absolutely amazing. I added cumin seeds at the start (cooked them so they popped), that's the only adjustment I made. Gorgeous and comforting food. Thank you all. Love from sunny Essex UK
Hi Saadia,
Love all you recipes and especially the curries. Even my one year old loves them (I cook with no salt or chili for her)!
I was just wondering whether it is possible to sub fresh spinach with frozen ones because the frozen ones are washed, organic, cheap and always available and here in France, I can never find fresh washed organic spinach. Big thanks to you for all the delicious and healthy content.
Literally amazing.
I didn't serve it with rice or bread just on its own. My whole family loved it which is amazing.
I'll definitely make this again!
I’m not vegan but I love your recipes they’re so delicious and a good alternative to switch meals up a little bit. Your videos are also absolutely inspirational and beautifully made, so calming and well explained. You and Robin.. also adorable. Thanks Sadia and greetings from Colombia.
I first made this over a year ago and it is now one of our go to meals. We LOVE it. It is incredibly easy to throw together, absolutely tasty, and a great way to use up veggies from the garden. My toddler and veggie-hating husband gobble it up.
I added pandan (screwpine) to the recipe for some aromatics, it worked wonders.
Great recipe, a favourite. A friend recently asked me to bring my " tofu dish" to dinner, that she'd had previously..well I wracked my brain...she meant this great curry!
Making it with tofu today, thanks to her mistake.
Soo tasty!!! :) I like that it is easy, quick, healthy and with amazing, creamy taste. These are the ingredients I almost always have at home so will be making it quite often.
Recipe turned out good even though i didn't have peppers and mushrooms, its usually hard for my parents to enjoy vegan meals but they liked this one!
thanks for the lovely recipes
Hey PUL -
I've been enjoying your recipes, but always get confused when you say "curry powder" because there are so many types of curries... What kind are you using here? I was going to guess channa masala, but hoping you could confirm?
I've been doing this recipe since college, super easy, fast and delicious. Is it possible to freeze?
Thanks!
Good weeknight recipe. I usually don't like spicy food but for this dish, I felt that it needed to be garnished with the chili flakes to boost it up a notch.
Nice colors and comforting dish.
Love this recipe! Nice for extra vegetables too.
A great recipe!!! And I used coconut milk for the first time in this recipe, ( I wanted to avoid this kind of milk somehow, but I can find that has a lot of flavor in some dishes), so this one I really liked it, the colors and texture. I served it with brown rice and it was such a great combination. 😊
This was delicious! I did add a bit extra coconut milk so I'd have more saucy goodness.
The curry is delicious! loving the coconut flavor!!
This was very easy to make and absolutely lovely. My grand children who fuss sometime ate it and asked when I am going to do it again. I will definitely rate it a 5/5
Hello PUL team
This recipe turned out so yummy. I am in my third trimester, and just planned to cook something new after so long.
I am so happy I tried this recipe, all my family loved it. Specially the baby :D
I love how your recipes have the best of both worlds, spices that any indian taste buds will cherish and so many added nutritious ingredients.
Thanks so much for this channel.
Love

Absolutely delicious! My husband preferred it to his usual chicken curry...win!!!
So simple but incredibly tasty. This will now be a regular dinner in our house.
This recipe is so yummy and nutritious 😋 I'm trying to make my husband like vegan food and it worked great 😛 😌 Thank you PUL ❤️
I cooked this recipe many times before, always with a thai green curry flavor but without respecting the cooking minutes so in fact, overcooking it. I tried recently respecting the indications and it is even better. Many thanks to Cris S, since she mentioned the crunchiness I had never experienced with my overcooking. I guess you learn something everyday from each person and comment in your life :) .
I love this curry, it's quite simple and yet so yummy! I've also modified the recipe to other vegetables, it works great <3
very yummy!! I eat this all the time now :)
This is one of my favorite go-to recipes! It is so easy and delicious. When I'm in a pinch I use canned mushrooms (fresh is best) but it still tastes great! I made a 4x batch for my family reunion to feed 31 people and it was a crowd pleaser even with all the non-vegan/vegetarians.
I made this dish for dinner and it was delicious and so easy! I added about ¼ tsp Sriracha for a bit of spice.
I came across your channel when me and my husband decided to go vegan. Absolute thrilled to have found you!
We love this coconut curry. I make it once every week and my husband goes, "Wow!" 😃
Super easy and super yum. Thank you for sharing!!
Lots of love and best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
The best recipe of Curry! Cheers from Puerto Rico.
My absolute favourite curry recipe! So easy and so delicious ❤
Love your channel! Can’t wait to try these recipes ❤️ Also love the variety of your videos, so glad I found you
Just “ unplanningly “ threw this recipe together in about 30 minutes, everything was already in my kitchen and it is so good, I can already tell this is going to be one of my go-to recipes!
I LOVE this recipe it's so tasty!! I kind of do my own thing with the spices but the way it's written is super good as well! So quick and easy all in one pot 🥰🥰🥰
This is one of my favourite recipes to make in the colder months! There's nothing I would take away or add, it's just perfect 😊 I make this at least once a week in the winter 😄 Don't forget to squeeze some lemon at the end because it makes all the difference! 😉
Oh my goodness...this was delicious! I loved it! I'm not very skilled at prep, so it took me quite a bit longer than 7 minutes, but it was well worth the time spent. And I really appreciate the quick link to create the shopping list and the feature to check things off as you go. What an amazing resource. Thank you! I can't wait to try more recipes (this was my first)!
Recipe tastes nice but I do have an issue. Underestimating cooking times is useful for not scaring people away but there is a limit. The total cook time is 10 minutes and the first two steps themselves take 8 minutes, so the rest of the process is supposed to take only 2 minutes? Give me a break.
Mmmm! I just made it! It's so comforting and creamy and I love that the peppers are cooked just enough to retain their crunch (but kill those pesticides 😂)!
This is my boyfriend and I's favourite curry recipe!! It's flavourful and aromatic and the bell pepper and cherry tomatoes make it so fresh! On top of that it's easy and nourishing, love it!
This is one of my routine week day recipe. Tastes delicious. Shared this recipe with many of my friends.
Love your new website design!!!
Super tasty, like every recipe in this website! Thank you!
