I have a vegan version of one of the most famous Indian Dish: the Vegan Butter Chicken Recipe. There is definitely no wonder why Indian flavors are really that special and unique, so I recreate a vegan version of the traditional butter chicken recipe.
It’s similar to the traditional curry recipe, but it also has tomato paste and butter in it. Feel free to make it as spicy as you like by adding more or less chili flakes. Don’t be overwhelmed by the many ingredients, in fact this is a really easy and effortless recipe.
How to make it vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, you’ll only need to change two ingredients. You won’t believe how easy it is to replace the chicken in this recipe. The best alternative is the dry soy chunks. You will find them in a lot of supermarkets and all you have to do is to boil them in water. They will have the texture of the chicken. Also use vegan butter, instead of the dairy one and your vegan recipe is ready.
Serve your meal with rice or naan bread.
