Many thanks!
Sylvie B I wasn’t sure if I should boil peppers as well 😃Thank U ✌🏼
Thank you! 👏🏻
Just made this deliciousness and it was sublime!!!! Best korma I’ve ever made and tasted. Even my 3 year old lapped it up and that’s a huge achievement.
Thank you guys...you’re the best! Been plant based for 1.5 years and followed your recipes since day one. Each recipe is getting better and better and love that this takes no time at all, which is amazing for an authentic curry.
Your vegan recipes are my inspiration! I have veered off the recipes without big disasters, for instance, substituted half of the onions with a leek which was leftover from something else, or used a bit of my homemade garlic and ginger paste instead of crushing the spices separately. It works just fine.
And here is my tip for umami flavor: I use Maggi, a great spice from my childhood in Germany. Mexican chefs use it and so do Indian chefs. It makes everything taste better, from soups to stews.
I am so glad to have found you on TH-cam.
Oh my goodness I just made this and it tastes amazing 😋😋. I added curry leaves & used cauliflower, French green beans, corn, sweet peas as my veggies. I didn't add the chickpeas/spinach. Thanks so much for this recipe🤗
Just made this evening, absolutely delicious. Can the sauce on its own be frozen or whats best storage suggestions? Thanks a million
looks great guys! santan sounds like an epic chef! definitely making this soon!

I must say that I love your recipe and I make vegetable korma quite often according to it with small twist (adding pumpkin and sweet potatoes). Thank you for this video, I come back here whenever I need new inspiration 😊
I wish there was an ingredient list with your videos but other wise I love everything else about your videos ❤️
Yeah they should
agree😊
We're in the process of adding our recipes to our website thehappypear.ie/our-recipes/ they take a minute to upload for some reason but this recipe will be there today.
@@thehappypear THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
The Happy Pear thanks for the reply 😊
I made this a couple of nights ago - the sauce was OMG DELICIOUS! THANK YOU for at last giving me the korma recipe I've been looking for for years and thanks to Santan and his father for sharing it.
I didn't have the peppers, and I used root curcumin instead of turmeric, and it still tasted wonderful. I'm going to make the sauce with mushrooms or vegetables instead of chickpeas next. This recipe is a keeper! Thank you twins!
Made this .. my husband was sceptic but he absolutely loved it ... 😍😍😍 just love your recipes
Thanks for sharing this simple recipe! It's my favourite vegan recipe by far and it's perfect for meal prep. I just cook 250 g dried chickpeas with the pressure cooker beforehand because they taste WAY better than the canned ones.
This was incredible! I didn't even get to put spinach or coriander/cilantro in it because I started eating it out of the pan. PAIR THIS with roasted cauliflower covered in a blend of cumin seeds, coriander, garlic powder and nigella seeds/onion seeds for the perfect accompaniment. Awesome!
I just made this for dinner and it’s fantastic! I added some chopped cauliflower too. So yum! Ty 😃❤️
I just made it this evening ...my first attempt at Indian cooking from scratch ....oh my goodness ! This is SO good ! Thankyou for showing me how to do it and thanks to your chef friend for sharing the recipe ! :) Absolutely delicious ! :)
Love your videos; you make plant-based cooking so accessible for the home cook. Don't change a thing. Cheers!
We cooked it today and it's really tasty and delicious! Thanks for the video and everything. Cheers 😋😍
The thing I love about happy 🍐 ‘s is they never once do product placement ads on their channel, and they only every promote other cooks :)
We only really use products that we'd actually have in our kitchen, we're lucky to have amazing friends that produce amazing ingredients too though like Clearspring, they're a family business like ours. 😄😄
Woww, what a great recipe.. going to try soon.. thanks a lot
Watched it this morning and made it tonight. 1 less tbsp of curry made it tame enough for the whole family. Definitely a keeper.
Amazing!! Hope it becomes a regular dinner for the family. 😄😄
2 white onions chopped
3 cloves garlic
1/2 thumb size ginger grated
2 tuna chickpeas rinsed
60g washed baby spinach
Chopped coriander
Sauce (blend all)
2 carrots pre boiled
One red and one yellow pepper
Tin chopped tomatoes

1 tblsp ground coriander
1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt

Make the sauce.
Add sauce onto pan and bring back into heat.

Serve with toasted flaked almonds.
Thank you for taking the time to type this out for us!
No problem!
Thank you! You've made a lot of people happy! 😊
I have just made the sauce and added meat for the boys. They are being healthy without realising with all the veg. Loved it and will be using this as a base for other dishes. Thank you
I love the way you say ‘genuinely’ 😊😊💕
Another brilliant recipe from the happy 🍐. I love anything with spices as long as it's vegan.
Thanks as always David, we've had this a few times since shooting it. We might even start jarring the sauce ahead of time.
Thanks for another great recipe video. If you are looking for ideas please consider asking Santan to do a video on dosa's and curry filling plus sides. One of our favourite south Indian dishes but need a recipe. Many thanks
Made this tonight with roasted cauliflower and cashews, good job lads, quality recipe 👌👌👌
Love the video! Can't find this recipe on the website?
Just got to taste it
*takes a whole tablespoon worth*
🤣😂🤣 Love u guys... Thank u for bringing us these Easy vegan dishes 🥰💚🌱
You have to give it a good honest taste, haha. Thanks so much for the love. 😄😄
I made this and used my own selection of veg and it was delicious, thank you Dave and Steve
Thanks guys. This looks really delicious and healthy.
I have made this recipe soooo many times. Its a favourate in my household.
Tried it! Excellent recipe and so tasteful. Merci messieurs pour cette recette savoureuse et colorée! Isabelle
Hi love this Thankyou 🙏 can you tell me how many this serves though please?
Wow! Definitely going to make this!
Yes an ingredient list would be great.
Just made this Korma and it was EPIC !, lovely and sweet, best curry I’ve ever made!, thanks Happy Pear lads you have made my day, this will be a regular meal for sure in my house
I wish you guys had much more subscribers 🤤 going to try out this recipe tonight. Many thanks for all that you’re doing 😇😇
Hi guys thanks for all u help. just wondering can u use coconut yogurt please
Looks like another hit from The Happy Pear! I will however have to wait for a colder day to cook it ;)
Thanks guys.
Thanks a mill Tom! Definitely worth trying out. 😄😄
I couldn't wait ! :)
Loved this video, loved the banter about cooking. Definitely going to try this one out.
I'm going to make this!
Love your amazing dishes. Is there a substitute for coconut milk in curries and korma for people who don’t like the taste of coconut milk. Can you use almond or rice or even oat milk?
Those should work. Or you could grind in a handful of cashews as we do in Indian cuisine - it'll be creamy and rich, just like coconut milk. :)
That sauce looks amazing
For someone jmusing ground ginger and ground garlic. What measurements would you use. I used 1/8 tsp for each clove of garlic and 1 tsp ginger. Dont think it was right, though
Oh my gosh this looks so so so good I need to make this!!
Thanks so much, let usb now what you think of it when you make it. 😄😄
I just made this for tea. Gorgeous. And there's enough left for at least another 4 meals :)
You outdid yourself with this one! Made it today and it was amazing :)
Did you serve it over rice, or just as is? I think some sort of flat bread would be tasty with this dish.
@@curtisrobinson7962 yep over rice, and with a flat bread. It is now a firm fave in this house :-)
@@thecrummydad is it a 2 person recipe or a 4 person recipe?
Wow! Really excited to try this one. Thanks for sharing
Thanks a mill Ashley! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. 😄😄
Question, did you guys boil the capsicums (peppers) or used them fresh?
I’ve just made this and can safely say it’s amazing. I did add some paneer too so wasn’t entirely vegan but my goodness it was delicious.
A beautiful looking dish
Thanks. a mill Shirley. Delighted you enjoyed it, hopefully you try it out soon. 😄😄
I just made this. Wow!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
I'm gonna try this one!
What other vegetables could you add after the sauce is made?
You guys are cute! the dynamic between you! The dish looks delicious ! I'm going to try it. PS. New subscriber !
Very nice lads. I watch a channel on Indian Vegetarian Recipes and it seems as though they reach for every spice known to man in each recipe! Looks great.
Thanks for this! I made it for my sons 18th birthday party ( i made chilli too this curry was soo perfect and the most popular by far ..( mums sneaky way to line stomachs;)) now a group are heading to Donegal and they want me to make it again...😬like 2 days later!👌🏼🤔
UHHHHHH I always love your use of spices. This looks SOOO good!
I’ve been enjoying Indian food lately. Thank you for this recipe!
It's such an amazing type of cuisine. Hope you enjoy your Korma Vegan Mama!! 😄😄
this looks amazing. I can't wait to try this... you mentioned that the sauce was a great base and to add other / different spices do you have any suggestions on what spices would go well ?
You could maybe add a 100g of Cream instead of Coconut Milk and take the spices from a Chicken Tikka Masala Gravy
or omit most of the spices and add Thai - Red Curry Paste
I'm gonna cook this today, I'm very excited 🙃
Update: I've just finished cooking. The Korma has become very delicious 😋. Thanks for the recipe!
Ohh yes! This is what I need in my life. 😋💖
NiwaLeaf Do you mean the two of them or one of them.... or the Korma ? !!!🤔😏
Artlover 😂 I definitely mean the food lol
Thanks a mil Niwa! Hope you enjoy it when you taste it. 😄😄
Gonna make this for sure. Might be a silly question but only the carrots were boiled correct?
We boiled the peppers too. But it isn't as necessary.
This looks amazing guys! Need to try this out!
Wait did you boil the peppers as well?? Looks so good guys! And easy!
We did, we put them in with the carrots. They get so vibrant in the hot water. Hope you enjoy it Greg. 😄😄
Why did you have to ask? Um, I thought the peppers were added raw. Oh well, no one died here, move along.
I need to try this, it looks delicious! And so easy, without ingredients I've never heard of, I always like that one too haha.
Let us know what you think of it when you try it, Lauri. We love how simple the ingredients are for this too. No Tamari either if you can believe that, haha.
Looks great (even though no Tamari, lol). On the one hand - I already made 3 dishes without recipes - as per your challenge - and they came out yummy (no oil) except that the first one was so HOT! On the other hand - recipes are great - otherwise there are countless ideas we could never come up with. Keep em' comin'!
This sounds amazing! Another great video guys!
Omg, guess what I'm making tonight?! LOL This looks so delicious and decadent!
Hope you enjoyed your Korma Sylvie. 😄😄
@@thehappypear Yes, the flavours were wonderful, thank you! I always love making your recipes the minute they come out 😁 You make my decision making so much easier when it comes to what we're eating that day LOL
I can't wait to make this!
You boiled the carrots, do you also boil the peppers?
Love it 💖
Yummy
I can’t find this recipe on your website 🥺
U Guys are awesome
Awesomeness!
I’v defs dome this before!!! IT’S DELICIOUS!!! Carrots, peppers, blended into sauce - like a magical secret to a magical.. secret... DELICIOUSNESSS... 😁😅 - gives a nice thickness and extra flavour to whatever’s cooking. You guys have taught me well 😏😁 Also whenever we make any of your recipes, we do so without oil and it works wonderfully. 😁😁👌🏻
I completely agree about the oil, no need to add it whatsoever.
@@mattsavory49 Yes. Unless you use something like sesame oil you can't taste it. And even then you still only taste it a little.
What a wonderful recipe! I've never tried a main dish with ground almonds and desiccated coconut, it sounds suuuuper delicious :)
It's a really nice addition to the taste, we've had this for dinner a few times already since shooting it. 😄😄
Did you boil the capsicums as well as the carrots? Or were the capsicums raw before blending?
We boiled those too. But it isn't as necessary.
Which one of your books has this recipe?
Almost all Hindu dishes are vegetarians..... India is Very very vegetarian friendly country 🌱🌱💚
I know you boiled the carrots, did you boil the peppers as well?
I'm hungry now!!
What is curry powder 🙄 ? What is the ingredients to make this curry powder
Wot no tamari??!!!!!🤣🤣
I know, we had to follow the traditional recipe as much as it hurt us, haha. 😄😄
@@thehappypear No Tamari no eat!!! 😜😜
Seems a little spartan with the quantities of spices, but there's no reason not to double/triple/quadruple them to taste. As an omnivore I think I may have to try this at some point soon as I like everything that's gone into it. Great job lads!
I wanna do that too but I'm unsure if that means I have to also double the ground almond and coconut or just the spices. What would you do @MagnusBruce?
It's a winner!
So you can use oil on the nonstick pan?
We do, it gets the cooking temperature in the pan up higher than without oil and adds more char/flavour to the food. It's not essential though. 😄😄
Can't wait to make this :-)))
Sorry guys, I'm from Goa - Korma doesn't come from Goa, it's from a different part of India. Love the vids though, great food recipes!
What? A pear recipe without tamari? What universe is this? Am I awake?
can you freeze this? would be great for meal prep :)
It would freeze fine, a shallow tub or dish would be great to freeze it with because it would defrost and cook quicker. 😄😄
Class lads. Just barely made [vegan] sausage stroganoff work with the boys. This, I’ll have a go at
Let us know how you get on! Fair play for sticking at it. 😄😄
they should open a national chain Vegan restaurant! i will be their regular
We had hopes but we like how special our restaurant in Greystones is. Maybe one day. 😄😄
What was the last spice? Ground ?
Ground almond was the last I heard
So are the peppers raw?
Amazing how all those generations ago those Indian chefs were using maple as a sweetener. Ist have been hard to source in India.
I wanna increase the spices. How do I that...just double everything that was on the 'spice plate' almond and coconut included, or will that overwhelm everything....or just up the cumin so it's hotter? I have no idea. ADVICE ANYONE?
Up the garam masala or add chilli powder. Cumin won't add much heat.
I actually made it today. I loved it. However, I could hardly tell the difference between this dish and coconut dahl in terms of flavour (thehappypear.ie/recipes/chickpea-dahl/). Regardless, you should try making it, if you haven't yet.
