First things first….let’s talk about how challenging it is to run a food blog and cook when you’re DIY-ing your kitchen renovation. Now, I’m not complaining here. Just throwing it out there that maybe I should have thought this project through a little bit beforehand? Maybe. But is there ever really a good time to renovate your kitchen?
TBH, our meals have mostly consisted of eating out lately. We’ve also had a lot of friends and family staying with us lately (clearly, I have no shame letting people see our disastrous house while it’s being worked on), so meals have had to stay pretty simple and easy lately.
This Easy Spicy Vegan Potato Curry has been so perfect for an easy, healthy dinner that feeds the entire family!
I think that this recipe could also be called “Whatever Is In The Fridge Vegan Potato Curry”. Because that’s basically what happened here! Chickpeas? Peppers on the verge of going bad? Spinach on its last leg (always)? Throw it in the curry!
A few tips to make life easier when it comes to this Easy Spicy Vegan Potato Curry:
- This microwavable basmati rice is seriously amazing. Love it for curry recipes!
- Pretty obsessed with this coconut milk.
- These canned chickpeas are always great to have on hand!
- Last but not least (definitely not least), my fave curry paste for delicious recipes like this one!

I am like you sometimes when I make a recipe with whatever is in the fridge that is on the verge of going bad. We do end up making something really delicious and we save the ingredients as well. Love the combination of ingredients in this curry. I am with you. Kitchen renovations are hard…especially on a food blogger.
Christine McMichael replied:
Haha, love it! Glad I’m not the only one. Ah yes, definitely difficult but so excited for the end result!
