    This Caribbean vegan plantain curry is filling, delicious and made in one pot. It's packed with sweet potatoes, spinach, kidney beans and fragrant spices. An overall award winning dinner that is great for bulk cooking or weeknights for the family.

    Bring a taste of the Caribbean to your dinning table with the flavoursome, heart warming Caribbean style plantain curry

    Curry in a casserole dish

    Here in the UK I think it's safe to say that British people love their curry dishes. Whenever people think of a curry, they immediately think of Asian cuisines.

    Little do people know that the Caribbean has a monopoly on their own rendition of a good old curry - whether it's curried shrimp, beef or Pumpkin Curry

    We have a unique vibrant spin on things and this vegan plantain curry (aka curry plantain) is everything you could need on your dinner table - it's plant based, packed with flavour and filling too.

    What's the difference between bananas and plantains?

    Now that plantains has become a trendy health food, so many people still don't know the difference between a plantain and a banana so let's cover this topic briefly.

    In short, plantain derives from the same family as a banana, however, it behaves like a vegetable despite it growing on a tree like a fruit.

    Plantains can be boiled, fried, mashed or even roasted just like potatoes.

    It is relatively larger in size with robust skin and has a low sugar content (when not fully ripe) and starchier than its banana counterpart.

    For that reason, it is considering a cooking banana that cannot be eaten raw.

    On the contrary, bananas are small in size, sweeter with less starch and can be eaten on the go, just like a snack!

    How to cut a plantain

    The good news is that it's fairly simple to cut and remove the skin from a ripe to over ripe plantain

    All you need to do is......

    • Lay your plantain preferably horizontally.
    • Then cut off each of the ends from the plantain and discard,
    • Next you then use a knife to score along the skin of the plantain (you will see where the skin separates from the flesh, just like a banana.
    • Use your hands to remove the rest of the skin.

    Ingredients you will need

    • Ripe plantain
    • Sweet potato
    • Cooked kidney beans (or peas as English Caribbean islands refer to them as)
    • Onion
    • Scallion
    • Bell peppers
    • Coconut milk
    • Spinach (or use callaloo if you can source it)
    • Tomato
    • Curry powder
    • Ginger
    • Garlic
    • Black pepper
    • Pimento berries (all spice)
    • Thyme
    • Ground coriander
    • Himalayan pink salt
    • Water
    • Coconut oil
    • Scotch bonnet

    How to make plantain curry

    Sauteing vegetables in a pot

    • Grab a sturdy non stick casserole pot/dutch pot/large skillet and melt the coconut oil on low-medium heat.
    • Saute the scallion, onion and garlic until soft and translucent (picture 1)
    • Once the onions and so fourth are sauteed, add the bell peppers and ginger and cook for roughly 5 minutes until the peppers have become soft. (picture 2)
    • Add the thyme, chopped tomatoes, coriander, pimento berries, black pepper and curry powder. (picture 3)
    • Stir all of the spices into the vegetables for about 2 minutes until they become fragrant.

    adding coconut milk and simmering the curry

      • Add the kidney beans, sweet potato and plantain (only add the plantain now if it is firm, not over ripe) along with the scotch bonnet, coconut milk and water. (picture 4-7)
      • Bring the pot to a rolling boil, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer for about 25 minutes.
      • Carefully fold in the spinach 5 minutes before the given cooking time and sprinkle in the pink salt. (picture 8)
      • If your plantain is soft and over ripe it's best to add them 5-10 minutes before the curry is ready or else they will turn to mush.

    Notes and tips 

    • For convenience use a can of cooked red kidney beans make sure it is in water, not salt water and drain off the liquid first.
    • If using dried beans make sure to cook them ahead of time. If you have an instant pot/stove top pressure cooker that will hasten the cooking process.
    • If you don't like kidney beans, feel free to use any other legume.
    • If you want overly sweet plantain, use extra ripe (skin is almost black) but add them towards the end of cooking. I used moderately ripe (with high yellow skin) plantains that are subtly sweet.
    • Use white or orange sweet potatoes depending on where you live/availability
    • Pimento berries are a whole version of allspice. Use ¼ teaspoon of ground allspice if you cannot obtain the whole berries.
    • Callaloo makes this recipe more Caribbean, it's a type of spinach. If you can't get hold of it, use spinach or even kale works too.
    • Scotch bonnet is optional, use a habanero or chilli or ¼ teaspoon chilli powder if you can't obtain it.
    • Use light coconut milk if you want to decrease calorie intake.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where can I buy plantains?

    The best place is from a market that stock African/Latino/Caribbean groceries. Also if you frequent a neighbourhood with this demographic, you will find supermarkets that stock it too.

    Can I use a banana instead?

    No, the two are NOT interchangeable

    Can I freeze the plantain curry?

    Yes, this is a freezer friendly meal

    Can I make this recipe in my slow cooker?

    No, the plantain will breakdown over a course of several hours. It's best to make this recipe on a stove top.

      I laughed when I first saw this recipe, saying are they crazy??? Then I decided to try it since my husband is trying to eat vegan/vegetarian but still wanted caribbean flavour. I am so glad I came back to this recipe. It turned out fabulous and I think it is probably the best curry I have ever prepared!

        Thank you for this delicious recipe, I've made it twice now and think it'll become a regular! I live in the Caribbean so am lucky enough to be able to use local ingredients. (The only thing I did differently was to add a tsp of sugar to sweeten it a bit more, because I use the firmer yellow plantains).

          Hi, I was noticing that the base flavors of the curry are what is found in Puerto Rican sofrito. Could the sofrito be used instead of the onions, garlic, bell pepper, etc?

      I really want to get into Ital Rasta cooking but can’t find scotch bonnet peppers where I live. What do you think about habanero pepper as a substitute? Or is there another pepper that would be better?

      • Charla

        June 24, 2021 at 9:55 am

        Hi Linda, thanks for reaching out to me. Yes, you can substitute habanero if scotch bonnets aren't available where you live. They are very similar in terms of their heat. Only scotch bonnets yield a slightly sweetness to them compared to habaneros but this won't impact the overall results of whatever recipe you use them in. I hope that helps!

        Hi there, don't panic spring onion/green onion and scallion are virtually interchangeable so it won't have an impact on the overall taste/results. Enjoy your curry when you make it!

          LOL! You must’ve sensed my panic through the screen. Thanks so much for answering! I just finished cooking/eating this dish and it was DELICIOUS. I had to use spinach and a habanero because my local Asian market didn’t have callaloo or a scotch bonnet pepper but it turned out so deliciously creamy and decadent with just enough kick from the pepper. This will definitely be a repeated meal!!!! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe 😊

      Oh man!! This curry is amazing! I love plantains and was looking for a new dish to try. This turned out great. The flavors are lovely and complex and meld so well. I didn’t have a scotch bonnet so ended up using crushed red peppers and home grown rainbow chard instead of the spinach.

      This recipe has now been added to my family classics! Although it took me way more than 10 minutes to prep all the ingredients (maybe cuz I made it for 6 people), once all the chopping was done, wow did all the ingredients come together so heavenly. I've cooked riz collé from Hatian cuisine before and I can see that you remained faithful to the authentic Carribean flavors (fresh thyme, pimento berries, scotch bonnet, etc...). Thank you Charla for making vegan cuisine an absolute delight!

      I tried this recipe on Sunday. It came out wonderful. Good flavors put together for this recipe. I did have over ripped plantains and I did exactly as you suggested and added those much later in the cooking process. They came out very good, not mushy. The only change I had to the recipe was using Red Small Beans instead of Kidney Beans. That's all I had on hand. I also had black beans. I thought those would be able to mesh well with everything. Thanks for the recipe. My family loved it.

      Made this for lunch and it was so so good. Substituted pimento berries with 3 cloves, 1/8 tsp cinnamon powder, 1/8 tsp nutmeg powder and instead of fresh thyme I used 1/4 tsp dried thyme. Cooked it in my instant pot for 3 minutes on high pressure, it was perfect.
      Is there a side dish that goes with it? I had it as a soup.
      I also printed the recipe in case I lose it 😉

      This was an easy recipe and it turned out great! I love curry and I like trying healthy alternatives to my favorite dishes. I added broccoli and carrots to mine because I had them on hand and it turned out wonderfully. Definitely adding it to my make again list!

      Hi there, I can’t wait to make this recipe! But I was actually wondering if you could tell me where you got that pot or what brand it is, I’m totally in love with it!

        Thank you! I'm confident that you will love the curry. In terms of the pot, I actually brought 2 (small and large) from an Indian store. I'm not sure where you are based but I did a quick search on Amazon and believe you can get mine in black from there. I think the brand is called "Sterling". Here is the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Marble-Coated-Non-Stick-Casserole-Tempered/dp/B07HFGZHGD/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=sterling+casserole+pot&qid=1590685167&sr=8-7

      A flavourful burst of Caribbean flare! It honestly felt like transporting the experience of travels to the home. I made a few additions to this recipe, but the base one itself is still INCREDIBLE. I can't thank you enough for sharing.

      I can’t wait to make this!!! Just a quick question, for the plantain is it a soft yellow plantain or the green plantain?
      Thank you!

        Hi Summer. I'm excited for you because so many people have enjoyed this recipe. It's yellow plantain that you need. I've just updated the recipe card to reflect this

          Hu Charla,
          I just made this for my own Valentine's Day, cold rainy weekend. It tastes and smell like love. I'm currently looking over your site for a low sugar dessert.

          May I make a suggestion. I use a lot of recipes and many of them have the ingredients listed in the order of use. It makes the recipe easier to follow, especially when there are a lot of ingredients.

            Thanks for the constructive feedback, I will definitely keep that in mind for upcoming recipes.

            For a low sugar dessert, I would recommend this Vegan Key Lime Pudding (Keto Option) one. I hope you enjoy the Plantain curry and Happy Valentine's day to you.

            I’ve never made Caribbean food before, but my boyfriend and I loved it! We bought allspice and fresh thyme specifically for this recipe, and I’m glad we did bc the flavor blend was so unique and unlike anything I’ve ever tried. This is going into our meal rotation for sure and I can’t wait to check out more of the recipes here!
