What You’ll Need For An Easy Quorn Curry

Make sure you scroll down to the recipe card for the full ingredient quantities and instructions. Here’s a brief overview of what you’ll need.

Tools

• Chopping board
• Knife
• Large pan
• Spatula or spoon for stirring
• Can opener for your tinned tomatoes and coconut milk
• Measuring spoon for your spices

Ingredients

Here are all the ingredients I used in this recipe:

• Quorn vegan pieces: Quorn sells both vegan and vegetarian versions of their ‘chicken’ pieces. Both are available in the frozen section. If you have an egg allergy or are vegan, make sure you get the ones that are labelled vegan (it’s in pretty large font on the packaging!), as the other version has egg-white powder in them.
  
• Onion: I used two small white onions in this recipe, so one large white onion will also work. Make sure you take the time to finely dice your onions for a nice smooth texture.
• Garlic and ginger: Both should be minced finely.
  
• Peeled plum tomatoes (tinned): You could also use chopped tomatoes, but I like that you can break up the plum tomatoes for a smoother sauce.
  
• Coconut milk: This adds that all-important creamy texture to the curry.
  
• Rajah Chana Masala spice blend: This spice blend is available in most major supermarkets, and is a blend of turmeric, cumin, chilli powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder, and others. It’s useful because it means you can save money compared to having to source every single herb and spice, plus you already have the perfect blend ready to go!
  
• Mango chutney: A heaped spoonful of mango chutney stirred into your curry just before serving adds a wonderfully sweet yet tangy flavour to the curry to really finish it off. Jarred mango chutney works great here.

How To Make This Quorn Curry

Here’s all the steps for making your Quorn curry – full quantities of the ingredients and instructions are on the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

Step One: Prep Your Ingredients

Take the time to finely dice your onion, and mince or grate your garlic and ginger. It can also be helpful to take the tops off your tins and have all your other ingredients within hand reach for stress-free cooking.

Step Two: Cook the Onion, Garlic, and Ginger

Heat a tablespoon or so of neutral oil (like olive oil, rapeseed oil, or vegetable oil) in your pan and cook the onions until soft and translucent. Then, add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.

Step Three: Add the Spices, Tomatoes, and Quorn

Then, you can add your spice mix, the peeled plum tomatoes – which you’ll gently break apart with the back of your spoon – and Quorn pieces, stirring well to make sure they’re fully coated.

Step Four: Add Coconut Milk

Then, pour in your coconut milk and bring the curry to a boil, then simmer for around 10 – 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Stir in your mango chutney and then serve with chopped coriander to garnish and rice!

See, so simple and so easy – you’ll love this recipe on busy weeknights when you want something within half an hour or less.

Storing

This curry is best served immediately. Quorn recommends only storing cooked Quorn pieces in the fridge for 48 hours after cooking, so this recipe is fantastic to enjoy as leftovers the day after, but may not be ideal for several days of meal prep.

You can also re-freeze frozen Quorn pieces once they have been cooked into the curry, so this curry is suitable for freezing for up to one month. Just make sure the curry has been completely cooled before freezing. Defrost the curry in the fridge and make sure it’s piping hot before serving.

Serving

This easy Quorn curry can be enjoyed in a range of ways, making it the perfect easy weeknight meal when you want something delicious but not too time-consuming! A few potential serving suggestions:

• With rice and chopped coriander
• With chapatis and extra mango chutney
• With a Peshwari naan
• Alongside Bombay potatoes, onion bhaji, and a vegetable biriyani
