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!
