Curry

A coconut milk or tomato-based curry is a vegan dinner that the whole family will love. The best bit about a curry is the richly spiced sauce, so you won't even miss the meat. Serve with basmati rice, poppadoms, and mango chutney for the ultimate vegan feast. Get the recipe: Quick chickpea curry
