About Vegan curry

Vegan curry is a plant-based dish with roots in South Asian cuisines, particularly Indian, Thai, and Malaysian traditions. It typically features a combination of vegetables, legumes (such as lentils or chickpeas), and coconut milk, simmered in a spiced base of aromatics like garlic, ginger, and turmeric. Vegan curry is rich in nutrients like fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium, and plant-based proteins, depending on the ingredients used. With its diverse use of whole foods and spices, vegan curry is not only flavorful but also nutrient-dense, supporting overall health and well-being.

• Contains plant-based protein from legumes like chickpeas or lentils, essential for muscle repair and growth.
• Coconut milk provides healthy medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to support energy and brain function.
• Vitamin C from vegetables like tomatoes and bell peppers supports immune health and collagen production.
