This gluten free curry sauce recipe is a simple and delicious sauce to add to your favorite proteins and serve over rice. This sauce is made from blended vegetables and spices, and is a fantastic sauce for simmering.

Curry sauce has so many uses, and is simple to meal prep/batch cook to freeze or use later. I love serving this curry sauce with crispy baked tofu, honey chicken, or simple sheet pan vegetables over rice for a tasty and delicious meal.

We make vegetable curry so often that it’s nice to switch it up and make a curry sauce instead – which blends all the curry ingredients together into a creamy, velvety sauce. I served this sauce over basmati rice and some crispy tofu and it was amazing! It’s versatile enough to go with any protein: chicken, pork, or even beef – or your favorite roasted vegetables.

This sauce is super meal-prep friendly. You can make a big batch (or even double it!) and freeze the sauce in portioned containers for the week. Just thaw, simmer any curry ingredients in, and you have dinner in no time.

Make Curry Sauce Gluten Free

This gluten free curry sauce recipe is a simple meal to make without the wheat. I’m all about making recipes gluten free when I can. Gluten free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around gluten free pantry staples and swapping in a few wheat-less ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.

What’s In This Dairy Free Curry Sauce Recipe?

Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

Onions, Garlic, Carrots, Bell Pepper, Ginger, and Cilantro
Extra virgin olive oil
Diced tomatoes
Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish super rich and creamy without any dairy.

Spices

Garam Masala: I love this amazing garam masala spice blend, which gives this dish an incredible depth of flavor!
Cumin: also adds a really nice flavor to this recipe – cumin has a lightly smokey flavor found in a lot of sauce and chili recipes.
Coriander – ground dried spice
Paprika – for a hint of spice and great flavor!
Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet.
Fenugreek – this spice gives this sauce a hint of signature Indian spice. I recently leveled up my spice cabinet when I bought this ground fenugreek, and it made all the difference in my Indian recipes

Now for the spices: add the salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, fenugreek, and black pepper. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, and reduce to a low simmer and gently cook for 1 hour until all vegetables are softened.
