We don’t eat curry often but when I feel like eating curry on a Thursday, I enjoy experimenting with a vegan curry.

Why I cook curry with SoyaRama and coconut milk?

To me curry needs a hearty gravy and there is nothing more comforting than a curry made from roasted masala and coconut cream. To elevate this dish, I prepared it with SoyaRama “chicken breasts”. This created a lovely texture to the vegan coconut curry apart from its great tasting flavour. The “chicken breasts” are made from wheat protein which packs in the nutrients into the curry. This product is  safely enjoyed by anyone especially if you are aiming to transition to a vegan lifestyle.

  1. Nice and simple yet flavorful! I also love using coconut milk... cuts the acidity and balanced the spiciness... so even when u pregnant the chances of heartburn is reduced
