Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil or sunflower oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
2 cups diced sweet potato (about 1 large)
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes or chopped tomatoes (undrained)
1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
4 cups chopped kale (stems removed)
8-10 ounces vegan meatless curry nuggets, pre-cooked if necessary
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving (optional)
Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

Large pot or Dutch oven

Instructions

Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger (if using), and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced sweet potato, curry powder, and turmeric powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the spices and bring out their aroma.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Stir in the chopped kale and meatless curry nuggets. Continue to cook, uncovered, for another 5-7 minutes, or until the kale has wilted and the nuggets are heated through.
Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and easy one-pot curry!

Variations and Adaptations

Spice Level: For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of sriracha when you add the spices.
Gluten-Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free. Just ensure your chosen meatless nuggets are certified gluten-free if this is a strict dietary requirement.
Add More Veggies: Feel free to toss in other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or chickpeas for added fiber and nutrients.
Different Protein: If meatless nuggets aren't available, substitute with hearty chickpeas, cubed firm tofu, or red lentils (add lentils with the sweet potatoes and increase broth slightly).
Creamier Curry: For an even richer, creamier texture and a hint of nutty flavor, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter at the end.

Tips & Hacks

Prep Ahead: To make weeknights even easier, chop your sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, and ginger in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
Frozen Convenience: No fresh kale on hand? No problem! You can use frozen chopped kale. Simply add it directly to the pot with the meatless nuggets; it will wilt quickly into the hot curry.
Meal Prep Friendly: This curry stores wonderfully in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, making it perfect for preparing your lunches or dinners for the week. It also freezes well for up to 3 months for ultimate convenience.
Boost the Flavor: A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving can brighten all the flavors in the curry, adding a zesty finish.
Perfect Pairing: While delicious with rice or quinoa, this curry also pairs wonderfully with warm vegan naan bread or flatbread for dipping up every last drop of the rich sauce.
