This Vegan Thai Green Curry takes only 15 minutes of prep time! All it takes is one pot, it’s loaded with rich flavours, and is bound to be a crowd pleaser!

I have a huge declaration to make: This Vegan Thai Green Curry equally rivals my Chickpea Curry for the best recipe on my website. I know, HUGE.  My Chickpea Curry is my most popular recipe. The video has over 1 million views. But the second the Mr. and I took a forkful of this curry, we immediately exchanged glances at the magic that was happening in our mouths and tummies.

Uh, needless to say, you need to add this curry to this week’s meal prep.

Before I get into this amazing curry, can we talk about that gorgeous turquoise skillet? It’s from GreenLife Cookware, a healthy ceramic non-stick coating cookware company. When I was approached about working with them to create a fantastic recipe using their pots and pans set, I could not say no. First of all, these colours immediately add joy into your life. I literally want to use them daily just because of the colour.

That’s not the only great thing about these GreenLife Cookware pots and pans though. Not only does your food not stick, clean up is so easy. No, like, SO incredibly easy, you can colour me impressed. The non-stick coating is real, friends. I made a whole curry in this and was surprised that I didn’t need to soak anything, nor even use hot water. It’s also lead and cadmium free, and manufactured without PFAS and PFOA. Know that you’ll not only be cooking your healthy food in these, but they’ll be super healthy and keep your food safe.

Win, win.

This Thai Green Curry could not have been easier to make. I started with some vegan thai green curry paste to keep it easy, natural and vegan. It’s a deliciously mild curry paste, so I added a heat option in the recipe. I was feeling really inspired and wanted this to be a really filling curry, so went for all the delicious veggies in this one. You can use your own veggie choices, but I went for broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots. The zucchini, or courgettes, really took this over the top for that meaty feel, like helping to fill you up. I loved the slightly crunch that the other tender-crisp veggies lent to this curry. There’s so much delicious flavour going on while you’re eating this delight. P.S. I use and love this green curry paste: it’s vegan & gluten free!

With the addition of the thai basil, coconut sugar and soy sauce, this curry has that familiar slightly sweet but savoury flavour. It honestly tastes like my favourite thai green curry when we order takeout, and I’m pretty sure that can’t be beat. Takeout type dinner at home? Yes. Please. Don’t forget to squeeze that lime over – it’s like an immediate flavour release that adds deeper layers of flavour to the entire dish. While you’re at it, serve each serving with a half lime wedge. I promise, your family/spouse/guests will LOVE you for it.

Lastly, serve these with some rice or naan, or both. To say I was in heaven while eating this is SUCH an understatement. Every bite ties into the other beautifully, and I promise you’ll be making this again. We actually ended up with leftovers, which was HARD since it was so good, and I had this the next day for lunch. Perfect.

I hope you enjoy, and happy cooking friends!
