Lentil & Vegetable Curry by hot for food
Vegan Dal Makhani
Vegan Dal Makhani – In a traditional Dal Makhani, you’ll find black lentils (urad beans) and kidney beans but I used some canned brown lentils because they are more easily available and it is way faster to cook that way.

Vegan Falafel Curry
Falafel Curry – We all love falafel and we all love curries, so why not combine them?! This vegan Falafel Curry is a creamy dream come true!

Curries with jackfruit, banana blossoms
