Vegan Peanut Corn Curry

Perfectly spiced, nutty, and creamy vegan peanut corn curry is exactly what you need this fall. It's so warm, comforting, and flavorful. Just in time to add the perfect twist to your Thanksgiving feast, or really...any feast!

I love corn, my son loves corn, my husband loves corn. So naturally, we make a curry out of it. My extended family made corn curry quite often and I remember loving it every time they made it. It's usually made with corn on the cob but of course, I like the quick and easy version of things. I actually forgot about how good it was until recently when I made a vegan version of it!

Here's what you need:

• Some frozen corn, thawed.
• Onions, garlic, and tomatoes - canned tomato sauce works great as well.
• Some extra veggies for added nutrients - I used carrots and bell peppers but any seasonal vegetables will work great!
• Some seeds and spices - I used mustard seeds and cumin for the seeds and garam masala for the spice mix.
• Crushed peanuts for some crunch.
• Coconut milk to add some creamy goodness.

Let it all simmer together to make it as creamy or gravy-like as you want. SO easy, right?!

My favorite thing to serve this with is some rice, frozen Kawan parathas, or naan. But this tastes just as yummy with tortillas, bread, or even by itself! Try out the Vegetable Samosa Puffs or the Phyllo Chaat Cups as appetizers to go with this dish!

I hope y'all enjoy this as much as we do! Share it with your friends and family and leave a comment if you made it!
