This Vegan Curry Pot Pie recipe was originally posted in 2014, but has since been updated with nutrition facts, details, and answers to frequently asked questions about some of the ingredients.
Can I substitute fresh ginger with grated ginger?
Yes, use 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger instead of fresh ginger. If you want a less pronounced ginger flavor, just 1/4 teaspoon can be used.
How can I reduce the sodium in this vegan curry pot pie?
You can use low-sodium vegetable broth. Alternatively, try tasting the filling before adding salt. Add salt to taste. There may not be many that suit your needs. Do not cut the biscuit salt as it enhances the flavor.
Can I use a different type of lentil?
We do not recommend replacing lentils. Vanessa loves red lentils in this recipe because red lentils cook quickly. If you use a different type of lentil, you will need to heat it longer until it becomes soft.
Can I use sweet potatoes?
absolutely! Note that sweet potatoes cook faster than regular potatoes. The flavor of yam goes well with curry.
Should I use two types of flour for my biscuits?
No, you can use all purpose flour for all flours if you prefer. If so, increase the proportion of all-purpose flour for best results. Whole-wheat pastry flours are finer and lighter than most other types.
