Vegan Korma Curry Sauce (Low Carb)

An easy, healthy and incredible-tasting korma sauce that is naturally vegan and low carb too. Great for last minute dinners, to use up whatever vegetables you have in the fridge.

There is nothing better on a cold winter night than a hot, spicy curry. Don’t you think?

This sauce is so creamy and full of flavour, I find myself craving it every week.

And it’s so easy to make, allowing you to have a super quick weeknight meal to hand.

Once you have the sauce made, then it’s merely a case of frying an onion in some oil, mixing in some veggies, tofu or whatever else you like and simmering with this sauce for 10-15 minutes.

And dinner is served!

How to make a vegan Korma

Ingredients:

• Coconut oil – Or other vegetable oil
• Onion
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Red chilli pepper
• Curry powder
• Tomato puree
• Ground almonds – Or almond flour (this helps thicken the sauce and gives a great flavour)
• Coconut milk
• Vegetable stock

To create the sauce, you first fry the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli in the oil with the spices.

Then blend with the red of the ingredients to create a thick, flavourful sauce.

Making a vegan Korma curry

In these pictures, I’ve used tofu, cauliflower, red pepper and spinach.

It’s a great way to use up whatever you have in your fridge and pantry.

Simply cook whatever vegetables you are using, perhaps with some tofu or chickpeas, until softened or browned and then add the sauce for everything to cook in.

Low Carb Serving Suggestions

For a low carb curry, I love using fried tofu, red peppers and spinach but you can also use a mixture of mushrooms, cashews, tempeh, broccoli, cauliflower or courgette.

Serve with some cauliflower rice (that’s just grated cauliflower heated up!) or some of these vegan keto naan breads, which I highly recommend.

But if you are on a higher carb diet (like me), I also recommend serving this with cooked potatoes, cauliflower and peas.

My absolute favourite! And served with brown rice, of course.
