Curries

Curries are at the heart of Indian cooking, although they pop up in global cuisine as well, including Thai, Caribbean, Malaysian and Japanese. A curry is what I most often make for dinner at my home, with a side of rice, and this  creamy and coconutty one-pot Vegetable Curry, which comes together in minutes, is a top weeknight favorite.

When I feel like some decadence without stretching my calorie budget, I take some help from the Instant Pot to make this Vegan Butter Chicken.  If you're trying to impress, make this delicious Vegan Malai Kofta curry or, for a quick meal, make this Vegan Tofu Curry.

For a global flavor, try this Sri Lankan Eggplant Curry or this Malaysian Mushroom Korma.
