🥘 Ingredients
Quorn pieces - 2 x 300g standard packs of frozen Quorn pieces.
Olive Oil - for frying.
Onion - chopped finely.
Garlic - chopped finely.
Ginger - peeled and grated.
Coriander - you'll need the stalks for the curry base and the leaves to garnish.
Mild Curry Paste - use korma or another mild curry paste.
Turmeric - adds a lovely colour to the dish.
Stock - as we aren't vegetarian I usually use chicken stock for a richer flavour, but swap for vegetable stock if catering for vegetarians.
Mango Chutney - provides a delicious fruity note to the curry.
Ground Almonds - helps to thicken the sauce and give it that classic korma taste.
Double Cream - gives the dish a luxurious creamy finish.

Three: Stir in the frozen Quorn pieces (no need to defrost them first) and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Five: Mix in the ground almonds and simmer for 10 minutes.
Six: Stir in the double cream, season, and serve with coriander leaves.
Top Tips
- Save time by using store-bought korma curry paste instead of making your own. The quality of these pastes is excellent!
- I always keep a few packets of Quorn pieces in my freezer, ensuring I'm never far from easy, delicious meals like this.
- For convenience, use a mini chopper to finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and coriander stalks. It's perfect for pleasing fussy eaters.
🍴 Serving suggestions
Serve the Quorn chicken curry with pilau rice, turmeric rice, or plain basmati rice. Naan bread, mango chutney, and raita are nice accompaniments too.
If I'm serving this as part of a vegetarian curry night feast, I'll also make my halloumi curry and creamy vegan chickpea and spinach curry!
📖 Variations
- Like your curry spicy? Use a hotter curry paste such as tikka or madras, and add 1 chopped red chilli with the garlic and onion.
- Make it vegan by using coconut cream instead of double cream.
- Add fresh vegetables to the curry such as sliced mushrooms, baby spinach or cubed sweet potato.
- Bulk the curry out by adding a tin of drained chickpeas.
🥡 Storage
The Quorn curry will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen, so why not make a double batch and freeze half?

We love using quorn in a curry for a meat free night. Mango chutney is my "secret" ingredients for curries too. it adds so much flavour.

Mmm this curry looks so good! I love the addition of mango chutney for extra flavour.

Hard to go wrong with a plant based curry but I loved the addition of the mango chutney with the ground almonds. Will definitely make again.

I added chickpeas and used creme fraiche instead of cream as suggested and it was delicious!
