Introducing my super quick and easy 10 Minute Peanut Butter Curry!
I wanted to create a recipe that combined two of the most popular curry recipes on my blog which are my 10 Minute Chickpea & Spinach Curry and Peanut Butter & Chickpea Curry
Both of these recipes have been so popular due to either their speed or flavour so I have combined them both to make the ultimate 10 minute peanut butter curry.
I think it’s generally a misconception especially with curries that you need to cook them for hours to develop flavour. Well, this recipe proves that totally wrong. From start to finish in roughly 10 minutes it’s the perfect dinner to share after a busy day.
And if you’re thinking, peanut butter in a curry…. then trust me you NEED to try it!
What you’re going to love about this peanut butter curry:
- 10 minutes to make
- Super easy
- Extremely tasty
- Perfectly spiced
- Gluten free & Vegan
Using these simple ingredients you can get from any supermarket.
By coming through to this recipe I would assume you’re a big peanut butter fan… me too!
If you have never tried it in a curry before then trust me you’re missing out!
It’s a really simple and healthy one-pot curry with zero faff. It’s as easy as adding all the ingredients to a large pot and cooking for 10 minutes.
Trust me the flavour this healthy curry packs in such a short period of time will blow your mind.
This is the perfect dish for when you don’t have much time and fancy something comforting.

I would recommend batch cooking this as it tastes even BETTER for lunch the next day or you can freeze it down for a healthy homemade “takeaway” one evening.

Finally, I challenge you to break the 10 minute mark, let me know in the comments below once you have achieved it

How many calories per portion is this meal ?
Amazing, I am just eating the leftovers and must say it took me 25 mins – but mostly because I had rice as a side and set that up too late. So delicious! I might experiment with different types of peanut butter (which one are you using?) and also add some crushed peanuts as a topping. And for a hungry male it was 3 servings !
2400g of chickpeas?
no 2x 400g chickpeas
Just had this for dinner. real game changer!! Absolutely delicious and so easy 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Olivia 🙂
Delicious! I dont know how to cook. Please tell me there are other 10 minute meals as easy to make and yum as this one! A huge hit.
I made this recipe for the second time tonight. Absolutely delicious. I added twice the amount of peanut butter. Also added a dash of tahini sauce. Lots of leftovers which is great. Thank you James.
I made this today and my “I don’t like anything with onion in it and I’m not very fond of spinach” 12 year old surprised me be trying mine then asking for a portion for himself. It was delicious, I loved the flavour. 1st rate healthy comfort food. Thank you!
That’s awesome!! so pleased to hear that Rosi 🙂
THIS IS SO YUM!!! The nicest meal I have ever made in 10 mins !! Thank you for the recipe James !
Yay so pleased you enjoyed it Beth 🙂
Amazing!! Just became plant based and have never been a fan of curries at all but this was incredible!! Lots left for next week too! 🙂
Thanks so much Mischa 🙂 so happy you enjoyed it!
So delicious! I added some fresh ginger, diced colorful bell peppers and a diced sweet potato. Definitely on my favorite list!
So tasty, both myself and partner love this dish. So quick and easy as well but full of flavour 🙂
i added some fresh ginger and made it with potatoes and carrots plus the chickpeas. also a bit less pb as it is so heavy. very tasty.
Could I use light coconut milk to reduce the calories as I’m on slimming world?
Yes 🙂
Hi! I saw this recipe on a post on Mumsnet looking for quick but healthy vegan recipes and Oh my god I’m so glad I did! I made it today for my 10 year old and me to have for dinner later but I have probably eaten a quarter of it already as I keep having a few spoonfuls whenever I go into the kitche lol. Thank you and I can’t wait to try some more of your recipes!x
Yay!! So pleased you enjoyed it Courtney 🙂 Make sure to sign up to my free newsletter so you don’t miss my weekly recipes and get my free recipe eBook!!
Love this curry, so quick and easy but without compromising on flavour. I have been meaning to write a review for ages as I make this alllll the time now and usually freeze half, total convert!
James, do you have other recipes that are equally quick yet healthy? My almost 4 yr old (who is called James incidentally!) makes it tricky to have much cooking time but I love proper food that’s healthy too so any further quick recipes greatly appreciated! Thanks so much, Sue x
Hey Sue, so pleased you’re making this recipe all the time 🙂 Yes best thing to do is either go through the dinners section and look for the 10 or 15 minute recipes or search in the search bar 10 minute or 15 minute that will bring up those recipes too 🙂
Yum!! I had never used peanut butter in a curry before and what a game changer it is! So delicious! My partner and I are already counting down the hours until tomorrows left overs. Thanks for a great recipe 🙂 will be a regular favorite.
Thank you Stacey 🙂 so pleased to hear you both enjoyed it!
Savory, spice, sweetness, and acidity are perfectly balanced in this go-to recipe for a quick and tasty meal. I’ve made this at least 3x and my tastebuds are blown away every time.
Thank you Monica 🙂 so pleased you enjoyed it!
So easy and so delicious!
Hey James,
This is the best curry I’ve ever had and it was so easy and so fast that I can’t believe I’ve been buying premade curries in the supermarket for such a long time. Thank you so much and will definitely follow your recipes because this was the first one but not the last one I’m making for sure!
Thanks and regards,
Patricia
That’s awesome Patricia, so pleased you love it! Thanks 🙂
Really enjoyed it 🙂
Have you got a recipe including a lot more peanutbutter and high kcal?
Looking to get some fat on.
Hey James, pleased you enjoyed this curry! Umm not off the top of my mind I always try to make them fairly balanced. You could always add more to curries like this though if you wanted. It would still work well 🙂
This was my xmas dinner.
Brilliant and easy recipe.
Thanks!!
Thanks Mariana, glad you enjoyed it!
My new favourite meal, just THE best!
Trying to eat less meat and this is the first of your recipes I’ve made and it’s delicious – looking forward to the leftovers! So simple too, thank you!
Yay 🙂 so pleased Catherine! Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Had this for Sunday dinner today, absolutely delicious and a definite keeper on the meal rotation. Thank you.
Thank you Elaine, so pleased you enjoyed it!
Winner winner, chickpea dinner! My whole family love this and it is sooo easy and quick to prepare. Thanks.
That’s great news, so pleased the whole family enjoyed it Rachel 🙂
This recipe is fab! I love making new things but I’m not a very confident cook but I found this so easy to follow and it tasted as good as I hoped. I’ll definitely be making more of your recipes ☺️
Thank you Keri 🙂 appreciate the feedback!
It looks lovely,can you use dry chickpeas.
Hey Celia, well you could do as long as they are prepared to use before putting in the curry like tinned ones are.
That curry looks so tasty and cosy, perfect for the coold fall!
A really delicious curry!! I loved how easy this was to make- only a few, simple ingredients and ready in a few minutes. I’ll definitely be making this again
Just made this for tea later tonight. Smells and tastes amazing. So easy to make with store cupboard essentials. A good choice after a busy day at work.
Thank you Julie 🙂 so pleased you enjoyed it!
It looks amazing! Do you think I could leave out the tomato paste? I am allergic to it.
Hey Donna, yes definitely that would be fine! Enjoy and let me know how you get on 🙂
Hi I am allergic to peanuts I was wondering if I could substitute almond butter.
Also any other substitute for coconut milk too. I love coconut but again allergic. Even if I could it down a bit would be helpful. You probably wondering geesh. But your recipe looks so tasty.
Super easy, tasty and filling curry. Love that I can freeze it too!
Hi James myself & partner devoured the chickpea & spinach curry very easy and quick to make really creamy nice x
Thanks Donna 🙂 so happy you both found it easy and tasty!
Hi James. I made your peanut butter curry tonight and it was amazing!! My husband went back for seconds!
So deliciously creamy and filling, can’t believe it only took 10 min to make!
Thank you Rose, so pleased you both enjoyed it!
This peanut butter curry is insane!! Would highly recommend. It’s quick, easy and will hands down be the best chickpea curry you’ve ever had
Thanks so much Chloe 🙂
