There's nothing quite as satisfying as a curry for dinner. Warm, comforting and all around brilliant fodder. If you've kicked the cow and given up animal produce though, curries can be a bit of a minefield.
That is, at least, until we found these delicious, super easy vegan recipes for you to try, of course.
I know what you're thinking; what possibly could be left of the curry once you get rid of all the meat, the cream, the ghee and all of that richly satisfying goodness? I thought it too. But let me tell ya, don't fall into that trap matey because these Pinterest gems will have meat eater's drooling just as heavily as their plant-only friends. Trust us.

And we're not just talking about bowls full of mushy chickpeas and squeaky tofu either (although, yes, both do appear in a couple of menus). We found a katsu curry, a classic thai red and one that even involves fresh mango.
Hungry yet? Thought so. Here's some friendly encouragement to forget the takeaway, sack off Thursday night Curry Club and whip up a couple of these gems instead.

1 of 101. Raspberry And Coconut Energy Bites
Remember when everyone was going crazy for 'energy balls'? Well, it's not too late to get involved. And if you're going to I'd recommend starting with this cute looking raspberry and coconut ones by My Fussy Eater. The matter of whether or not honey is considered vegan or not is hotly contested in the veganism world, but if you're of the opinion that no, honey is not vegan, then ditch the honey from the recipe, swap it for agave nectar or maple syrup and you've got yourself a really yummy healthy snack to munch on.
2 of 102. No Bake Breakfast Brownies
Bet you didn't think the words 'breakfast' and 'brownie' would ever go hand in hand, did you? Well, thanks this recipe right here over on the it is now. They're rich, fudgey and require zero baking at all. Dreamy.
3 of 103. Banana Bread
Banana bread, aka, the undisputed king of breads with stuff in them, was given the vegan-treatment over on the Hell Yeah It's Vegan blog and we're into it. It takes a bit of time, but doesn't it look worth it!
4 of 104. Toffee Crisp Bars
Cadbury's Toffee Crisp were up there as one of my all time favourite chocolate bars growing up. But, even though they seem to have disappeared from the shelves of all of my local supermarkets, Wallflower Kitchen's recipe will give you something pretty close.
5 of 105. Peanut Butter Balls
If you're upset about Reece's famous Pieces not hitting the vegan scale, here's your replacement: peanut butter balls by Namely Marley.
6 of 106. Cinnamon Apple Chips
We've all dabbled in vegetable crisps a couple of times, but what about fruit crisps like the ones on the Williams Sonoma website. They take practically no time at all (like, 25 mins) and sound delicious.
7 of 107. Lemon Berry Bars
Boy, does Texanerin Baking have a treat for you. Let us introduce you to berry bars that will make you feel super accomplished after making and (if there are any left) can be frozen for future bouts of the munchies.
8 of 108. Sweet Potato Doughnuts
Yep, you heard. Sweet potato doughnuts a la FriFran. The recipe makes 20 miniature bite-sized morsels of wonderfulness and are almost too pretty to look at for too long without drooling.
9 of 109. Pretzel Bites
Who can resist the smell of freshly baked pretzels? No one, that's who. And lucky for us, we don't have to. Follow the Hot For Food blog recipe and never look back.
10 of 1010. Baked Spring Rolls
Well, we had to throw a savory option in for good measure, didn't we? If you're bored of carrots and hummus and fancy a bit of a challenge give these packed spring rolls a try. The Minimalist Baker recipe has crispy tofu and a satay-esque almond butter dipping sauce. Hungry yet?
