As autumn starts to settle in and the evenings begin to feel a little cooler, we find ourselves reaching for meals that are warming, comforting, and most importantly easy to make after a busy weekday. A good curry is perfect for this time of year: full of flavour, packed with simple ingredients, and ideal for those evenings when you want something cosy without spending too long in the kitchen.
From creamy coconut curries to fragrant dhals, these recipes are all about making everyday cooking feel that little bit more satisfying. Most can be made in one pan and are easy to adapt with whatever you have in your kitchen cupboard, and just as delicious as a speedy leftover lunch the next day.
So, as we settle into September and slower, cosier evenings begin to creep back in, we’re sharing five of our favourite curry recipes.
With an impressive 14 plant points, this creamy butter bean curry is both nourishing, comforting, and made mostly from store-cupboard ingredients. If you haven’t tried Carlin peas, this is your sign! They’re nutty and earthy, somewhere between chickpeas and Puy lentils.

This one-pan curry is a true batch-cooking winner. Rich and fragrant, it’s packed with lentils, chickpeas and spinach – a fantastic source of fibre, protein and iron. It keeps brilliantly in the fridge or freezer as the flavours deepen over time. Keep it mild for younger mouths or dial up the heat if you like a little spice.
