In the food world, curries are consistently solid performers. Hungry? In a rush? On a budget? Few things will tick all these boxes as successfully as a good vegetable curry, and whether you prefer fragrant coconut curries of Southeast Asia or the protein-packed dhal common in Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan cuisine there are plenty of fantastic vegetable curries to fit your needs (and fill your belly) to be found in this collection.

David and Charlotte Bailey's Vegan massaman curry is packed with chunks of soy, coconut milk and a freshly blended spice paste, making a wonderfully nutritious meal for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike. If you're in a rush whip up Urvashi Roe's Quick chickpea and spinach curry for a cheap supper, or try Alfred Prasad's easy Saag paneer recipe to serve as a delicious side to a luxurious Indian feast.
