A tantalising, aromatic and succulent quorn curry! One so appealing you could just chomp away on it’s own! Yes and I did lol!
A quick protein fix with satisfying tummy filling jeera rice! Just the type of meal if you want something that bit special! Full of flavour and impact ~ it was eaten by my nearly 3 year old and the verdict? “Mummy this is very tasty!” That’s all I needed to hear! Hope you enjoy, much love D x
Have a wonderful week x
INGREDIENTS
1 medium white onion sliced in crescent shape
3 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp grated ginger
Large handful of fresh coriander chopped
400g frozen quorn chicken style pieces
200g tomato passata
1 heaped tsp paneer masala
2 tsp cumin and coriander powder
⅓ tsp turmeric
⅓ tsp red chilli powder
¾ tsp salt or more to taste
Pinch of sugar
1 tbsp sunflower oil
METHOD
• Heat the oil up on a medium heat and sauté the onion, ginger and garlic until onion is translucent
• Pour in the passata and and the rest of the spices and seasoning, reduce to a low heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes
• Add half the chopped coriander and frozen quorn pieces. Combine and coat the pieces well. Thin out the tomato sauce by adding a little water. The quorn pieces should now be cooking and simmering in enough sauce, so that it is just soaked
• Cook and cover for a further 15 minutes on a low simmer
• Pour over more water if evaporated and season again if required. Stir in the remainder of the coriander and serve on a fluffy bed of white jeera rice
What a delicious recipe!

Another recipe for my to do list! thank you, Dimple 🙏
My pleasure Elaine. I’m sure you will like it. Full of flavour and effortless to make! 🙂
And I guess I could follow your recipe and add vegetables in place of quorn for me? And chicken for my boys?
Yup exactly!
Do you have a typical masala sauce that you would use as a base?
It varies from curry to curry but mostly a tomato base with extra masala relating to the curry. For example if it’s a kidney bean curry I would use Rajma masala. A paneer curry ~ a paneer masala. Nearly always the base will have onion, garlic, ginger and chillies 🙂
Thank you 😊 what is paneer masala? And rajma masala? Are they different spice mixes?
Yes you can buy them ready made from an Indian store. Paneer is an Indian cheese and rajma is kidney beans x
Aha, great, thank you my guru 🙏 x
No no! Not guru just plain old me, a friend x
Lovely 😍 thank you xx
Looks good! I love Quorn products 🙂
Thank you B x
Me too! I love working with quorn mince too yummmmm x
Mince is lovely!!! It’s so versatile – I’m going to be making it as keema next week hehehe! I’ve used it in Tacos and Spaghetti but not in Indian as yet! Hope you’ve been well Dimple!
xx
Ummm keema! Please post your recipe, can’t wait to see it. I’m really well thank you! hope you’re good Bandhna x
I guess I’d better hurry up and get into the kitchen, now that you’ve made me so hungry! 😀
Awww! What are you making this evening?
I’m not certain, but I know it’ll start with Basmati rice! I have some ready cooked in the fridge almost all the time so I can throw it in a pan, pot or microwave to go with whatever I’m hungry to eat at the moment. Come to think of it, I guess I have a little bit of leftover curry from the other night waiting to be eaten, too. Apparently I *do* know what I’m about to fix! 🙂
I love how you started writing that you were not sure what you were about to eat and at the end of your train of thought and conversation you made your mind up 🙂
I had no idea what quern was, and now I do! Beautiful recipe Dimple!
Thank you Lydia, I’m so glad 🙂
I’ve not seen quorn products here and wonder if it’s available. I hope so because your curry sounds delicious. And it’s so easy to prepare, too! 🙂
Thank you! I hope you can get some. If not you can use chicken 🙂
