Vegetable Thai Green Curry

SKIP TO RECIPE

I’m on my flight from Dallas to Tampa as I write this post and I’m reminiscing about my delicious Thai Curry dinner I had at home before heading out to the airport. I love Thai food! There is just something about the flavors, the spices, the aroma that is so enticing. I almost crave a coconut-y curry every week, if not more often.

While I had some time over the past weekend, I went ahead and made some fresh Thai curry paste at home. Having the green curry paste ready at home made it so easy to put together a nice dinner for us before I headed out for a work trip.

While making Thai food at home can sound intimidating, this curry recipe is so easy to follow along. I’ve seen Thai curry paste available at almost every grocery store around Dallas and even on Amazon. However, if you are willing to take the plunge, I highly recommend make some fresh homemade green curry paste. Using a blend of fresh herbs takes it to the absolute next level.

This Thai curry is vegan and gluten free (which I love!) but its also fulfilling. I only added vegetables to the curry (peppers, sweet potatoes and water chestnuts) but you can also add tofu for that extra kick of protein.

I like my curry with some quinoa or brown rice while Roshan likes it with white rice, you can’t go wrong either way. Everything about this curry is just so flavorful and dynamic. I may be biased but this is definitely the best Thai curry that I’ve had!!
