    I will never stop singing the praises of curry recipes. Curry is incredibly flavorful and SO quick and easy.

    It makes a great weeknight meal. The prep time is minimal and most of the cooking is hands-off.

    This curry is just the same. Featuring luscious, soft yellow potatoes. And the crisp texture of just-cooked green beans. Add your favorite protein for a complete meal!

    Why I love this Vegan Green Bean Potato Curry

    • Dietary needs - this recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based, oil-free, and refined sugar-free
    • Quick and easy - this curry comes together in about 30 minutes, perfect for weeknight dinner
    • Pick your protein - add tofu, tempeh, seitan. Whatever you want!

    Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

    • Yellow Onion: you can also use a white or red onion if you want
    • Garlic
    • Ginger: fresh ginger is ideal for that bite of ginger flavor. But if you don't have fresh, a bit of dried ginger will work just fine
    • Turmeric, Cumin, Coriander: curry spices
    • Salt & Pepper
    • Yellow Potatoes: I recommend baby yellow potatoes or yukon gold potatoes, they are soft and tender - perfect for curry
    • Vegetable Broth: I like to use stock instead of water to create a more flavorful curry. If you don't have vegetable broth or stock, you can use water.
    • Coconut Milk: This is the canned coconut milk, not the stuff you buy from a carton. The canned milk is much thicker and creamier. This is the key ingredient for the deliciously rich flavor of this curry.
    • Green Beans: fresh or frozen both work!
    • To Serve: pita, lime wedges, cilantro
