🥘 Ingredients
- Quorn pieces - 2 x 300g standard packs of frozen Quorn pieces.

- Garlic
- Ginger
- 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 thicken the sauce and give it that classic korma taste.
- Double Cream - gives the dish a luxurious creamy finish. For a lower fat curry, use half fat creme fraiche.

💭 Top tips
- Save time by using shop bought korma curry paste rather than making your own. The quality of shop bought pastes is excellent!
- I always keep a few packets of quorn pieces in my freezer so I'm never too far away from easy, delicous meals like this!
- Use a mini chopper to chop the onion, garlic, ginger and coriander stalks. My kids don't like it if they can see any onion!
🍴 Serving suggestions
Serve the Quorn 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 serve up 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.
Katherine
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.
