Indian Potato Curry

Vegan Potato Curry - Gluten-Free | Vegangela

This Indian potato curry is hearty, fragrant, and perfectly spiced. I love this dish because… It’s packed with protein, unlike most potato curries you get from your local takeout joint.

Roasted Butternut Squash, Lime & Coconut Soup

Roasted Butternut Squash, Lime & Coconut Soup (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

I cut this soup recipe out of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper many years ago – and it’s been one of my favorites ever since. The coconut milk makes it so rich and creamy and the cilantro (fresh coriander) and lime give it such a fresh, summer-taste, any time of the year. I veganized the original … Read more

Continuing with my tropical theme this week, here’s a yummy tropical tapioca pudding recipe. I’ve named it “Drunk Pineapple Coconut Tapioca Pudding” because the pineapple is sautéed in dark rum.
