Easy Vegan Green Bean Curry

If you are looking for an easy, nutritious and hearty dinner recipe that won’t break the bank, this vegan green bean curry is IT! Comforting, but healthy, high-protein and full of flavor!

The star of this recipe is definitely the green beans (use fresh or frozen, I prefer frozen), but the potatoes and tofu will make it super filling.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need (find the exact amounts in the recipe card):

• green beans (pre-cooked)
• potatoes
• tofu
• red onion
• garlic
• tomato paste (22-24%)
• canned coconut milk

How to make this vegan green bean curry

Step 1.)

Peel and cut up the 2 medium potatoes (~300g) into small and thin slices (as seen above). Fry them on all sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp oil.

Cut up the tofu into small cubes and fry them as well with 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp oil until golden brown and crispy.

When you are done, set the tofu and potatoes aside.

Step 2.)

Caramelize 1 onion and 3 garlic cloves in 1/2 tbsp oil, then add the curry powder and stir for 1 minute.

Step 3.)

Add the whole can coconut milk, 70g tomato paste, 3 tsp curry powder, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Stir everything for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4.)

Add the 200g green beans. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 5.)

Take the pan off the stove and as the last step, add the potatoes and the tofu. Stir everything together for one last time.

You are done! All that’s left is to serve your curry with fresh rice.
