Vegan Rogan Josh with Seitan

This delicious, medium spiced vegan Rogan Josh curry is quick and easy to make and much lower in fat than traditional takeaways!

The quick and easy curry paste add bags of flavour, and it stores well, so you can make up double if you like and keep it in the fridge for next time. To make the paste simply pop the paste ingredients into a mini food processor (the sort that comes with a stick blender) and pulse until smooth. It is best to chop the onion, garlic and ginger a bit before adding them, but no need to be too precise.

If you like your curries hot you can leave the seeds in the chilli or use birds eye ones, if you prefer them a bit milder, leave out the chilli powder, or reduce the amount.

To make this tasty, traditional style vegan Rogan Josh curry just add sliced onions and peppers, along with the curry paste and a few other spices to a large saucepan and simmer along with chopped tomatoes and stock for a deep, rich full flavoured curry you will want to make again and again.

This recipe uses our chicken style seitan, but you could also use soya or Quorn pieces, or a selection of mixed vegetables instead.
