My curries are usually veggie, and often vegan (eggs are likely to be the non vegan element if any). The veggies just take up the spices so well.
Last night was chilli and marrow soup (a couple were found to be going off), with pittas for OH. We had had thai style stuffed marrow rings on buttered pots for lunch, so a lighter supper was called for. Helps with the waistline reduction campaign too.
