    A flavorful sweet peach curry recipe made with immune-boosting ingredients. This easy curry recipe is the perfect blend that combines traditional curry flavors with a sweet twist. A 30-minute meal perfect for weeknights.

    Peach curry in sauce with green beans in a white bowl with rice and seasoning behind it.

    Loaded with vegetables this sweet curry recipe is also gut-healing and immune-boosting. Which, as a Certified Nutrition Coach, makes it one of my favorites.

    Made with typical curry spices like turmeric and ginger but with an added sweetness of fresh summer peaches.

    Given that this curry recipe is whipped up in 30 minutes (just like this comforting rose Tteobokki), it also makes it a healthy weeknight dinner recipe!

    Plus, you can easily switch out the vegetables to make the dish seem new again.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Enjoy bursts of flavor with this recipe! Once you make it, you'll be hooked.

    Seasonal produce: This recipe is a great way to enjoy the summer produce season.

    Immune boosting: Bump up your gut health with this one along with gluten-free chicken and rice soup.

    Busy night meal: Though it seems like there's a lot of ingredients it really does come together quite easily.

    Ingredients You Need

    Vegetables: bell peppers, green beans, and button mushrooms can easily be subbed out for asparagus, cauliflower, and whatever else you can come up with.

    Immune-boosting ingredients: you'll need curry basics like fresh ginger, turmeric, and cloves of garlic.

    Peaches: fresh, juicy summer peaches work best but if you're an avid canner, canned peaches work just as well! Try not to use peaches canned in syrup though as it's a bit too much sweetness.

    Red curry paste: adjust the taste based on preference as some brands are more potent than others.

    Soy sauce: double check your soy sauce is gluten-free as many are not. If in doubt, use coconut aminos which is a paleo option.

    Full fat coconut milk: this is what makes the curry sauce rich and creamy. Opt for the full-fat version for the best flavor which is what you need for Thai green chicken curry too.

    Bone broth: I like to use bone broth powder to keep it simple but any homemade bone broth works.

    How To Make It

    1. Prep and chop all your veggies.
    2. Heat oil over medium to high heat and saute the onion and garlic until clear.
    3. Add in the rest of the veggies, and canned or fresh peaches, and cook until soft.
    4. Stir in the curry paste, soy sauce, and seasonings, and cook for two minutes.
    5. Make your bone broth and whisk it together with the coconut milk. Add it to the pan and bring it to a boil.
    6. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, turn the heat off, and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

    How To Sweeten Curry

    More often than not curries are sweetened by adding sugar a little bit at a time. This is because the curry flavor can come across as quite potent.

    Instead, this dairy-free curry sauce uses fresh fruit boiled into the mixture to sweeten it.

    The peaches complement the spices and create a contrast between traditional flavors like turmeric and sweetness. These curry meatballs are a great choice if you like the classic curry flavor.

    Which Spices Are Best

    This delicious curry uses very basic seasonings like garlic, onion, ginger, and turmeric. All of which have been shown to boost the immune system.

    The combination of garlic, ginger, and turmeric provides a lot of anti-inflammation properties.

    It’s used in cough and cold remedies like fire cider during the cooler months. This chicken madras curry is also great for cold weather comfort just like this aloo gobi recipe that's really a cauliflower and potato curry).!

    Turmeric especially can help reduce pain, boost the immune system, and more (check out the benefits of turmeric and this turmeric smoothie to get more of it into your diet!)

    While this recipe uses mostly fresh ingredients, using the dried options will work too. Simply half the amount that’s called for.

    Which Broth Is Best For Curry?

    Any homemade chicken broth will work for this sweet curry recipe. However, note that it will change the flavor slightly.

    This specific recipe uses Perfect Supplements Bone Broth Powder though. It can be a challenge to make your own bone broth regularly so the powder form is a lifesaver given that bone broth is one of the three best foods for kids.

    Simply mix it with boiling water and you have ready-made bone broth.

    Plus, the perfect supplements bone broth powder is made from free-range chickens and contains no additives or spices. This makes it so it takes on the flavor of the curry instead of changing it.

    Grab your bone broth powder and use code mamabear10 to save some money.

    Topping The Sweet Curry With Protein

    This curry recipe is amazing for a Meatless Monday dish (as is this Aloo Palak Recipe!).

    However, while this curry is amazing without a protein source, it doesn’t mean you can’t use one!

    The bone broth powder provides some protein. However, this dish also tastes delicious with:

    • Grilled or shredded chicken
    • Flavored tempeh
    • Pan-fried tofu

    Top the dish with your favorite protein source and enjoy! Or enjoy a veggie-based dish like this Bhuna curry.

    Expert Tips

    You can easily substitute the veggies in this dish. Celery, cauliflower, and carrots all work interchangeably.

    You can also use green curry paste instead of red.

    Enjoy the curry over top of rice or even as a gut-boosting noodle bowl.

    If you’re not used to the flavor of turmeric (it can be a bit potent), scale back the amount to half a teaspoon

    Frequently Asked Questions About Peach Curry

    Does coconut milk curdle in curry?

    Coconut milk is used to help make curry creamy and hearty. It does not curdle in the curry but blends into it and creates a better sauce. Make sure to use the canned version though as the carton has ingredients to keep it liquid. You really want to use the thick part of the can or the “cream” for maximum flavor.

    What can I sub for coconut milk?

    If you don’t have coconut milk on hand you can try using coconut milk powder. This will help keep the texture of the curry.

        Plums, mangos or nectarines I think would work perfectly! They'd still be sweet and would work well with the curry flavors 🙂
