Hey guys and girls,

So I recently turned vegan, mainly for improved health but I have personal moral and ethical reasons.

I love cooking curries. It's a personal passion of mine. But I've never eaten a curry without meat, and the thought of loading curries with insane amounts of vegetables for the sake of it doesn't appeal to me. I don't want my curries to lose flavour, or taste, just because I've cut out the meat.

Can I still expect to make the great tasting curries I made with meat, but without using any animal products? Does anyone know of any good recipies?

My veg palette is limited. Exotic fruit and veg doesn't appeal to me such as avocado ands aubergine . I'm a big lover of beans and peas of all kinds.

It's a new area for me. Any advice and tips would be awesome.

I'd love to be able to make great tasting vegan curries. It's a new journey

I really enjoy a Phal. It can get painful, but I enjoy it, although I hate the morning after. The toilet session seriously painful.

I've never made my own Phal as the curry house I use make a proper one but I am tempted to give it a shot. Is there anything hotter than a Phal?

I'm James,

I love curries and I love cooking them. I really enjoy hot curries such as the Phal. I've never tried many flavoursome recipes apart from Tikka and Madras so I'm really looking forward to trying out new stuff from the forums.
