Best 2 Vegetarian Peanut Curry African Inspired Recipes
VEGETARIAN PEANUT CURRY (AFRICAN INSPIRED)
Created for the Dining on a Dollar contest. At first this was inspired by Senegalese peanut soup which has Asian influences but it evolved more into a South African curry with the addition of dried fruit which is optional if you don't like fruit in your curry. This turned out very flavorful and filling. The peanut butter is an undertone and not overpowering. It's packed full of good fats, fiber and protein. I made this Vegetarian but you could easily add chicken broth and chicken. I made this mild but you could increase the chilies to spice it up. Next time I may try chopped fresh tomatoes and green onions on top. Enjoy!

VEGETARIAN CURRY
This is my mom's favorite curry recipe. I don't have a specific cooking time; it just depends on the size of the vegetables. I suggest any regular curry powder purchased at an Asian store. I put the dry spices in a spice bag for easy removal before eating. The best brand for coconut milk is Chaokoh coconut milk. But I like to use frozen grated coconut mixed with warm water and squeezed to make coconut milk.
