Recipe for Vegan curry

MOnica How do you know it’s vegans doing this? Evidence?
“Cultural appropriation” ??!!! since when was vegetable curry only allowed in one culture? Vegetable curry can be a myriad of recipes. And is vegan curry from a different culture? You are definitely loosing out on this argument. You are irritated by some recipes changing the title. No one else is. Others find it helpful. End of.

Maybe the original vegetarian curry had some none vegan items in it?
So they altered the recipe.

I’m surprised at the amount of sugar though, usually it’s an abundance of salt in Processed food.

Seems an odd thing to get wound up about though.

I’m pretty critical of the original recipes, they are too complex and very few are going to use them. We usually have a curry mid week using leftovers, whatever is left over goes in, practically all of the flavor come from the spices, salt and sugar you use wether there is meat or just vegetables.
It takes practice to get the taste you like, tip, cook the base curry add the rest in small quantities taste it often, if you want lower calories use ground cauliflower instead of rice, very similar texture

To describe the use of the word vegan to describe a dish is helpful. It gives more information than the description meat free or vegetarian because it indicates no dairy. no eggs. no products derived from animals.

To call this "cultural appropriation" is patently absurd.

Vegan is a great description. It warns non-vegan that there might be things in the dish that they cannot tolerate.

existed for centuries before veganism became a movement
Apparently veganism has been around for a thousand years. You learn something new...
Vegetarianism 4000 years old

Vegetarianism is 4000 years old? Really? ???

There is clear evidence of hominids eating meat 2.6 million years ago Chardy. We don't know about before that but mankind has probably been omnivorous for very much longer.

I think it is fine. to describe it as vegan, so that a anyone would know it didn’t contain animal products, without looking all through the recipe.It would be particularly useful for someone who in not a vegan cooking for a vegan, as they may be unsure what a vegan couldn’t eat.

Describing a dish as vegan warns carnivores that there are no animal products in the dish and so if they are insistent on animal products they can avoid it.

How many carnivores are that inflexible? The number of human carnivores must be countable in single numbers. the vast majority of people are omnivores.

Esspee

I didn't mention meat-eaters. A previous poster had alluded to veganism and vegetarianism being modern phenomena, and pre-dating curries.
To be clear the time line looks like:
Vegetarianism can be traced toIndus Valley Civilizationin 3300–1300BCE
Curries - archaeological evidence dating to 2600 BCE
One of the earliest documented vegans pre-dates Norman Conquest

I did learn from my travel in India that around 50% of Indians are vegetarian, certainly they do eat a lot of Beans, Chick Peas and Lupins for protein.
Seems the ancient eating habits persist
