Best 3 Vegetarian Thai Green Curry Recipes

VEGETARIAN THAI GREEN COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place all green curry paste ingredients in a food processor or blender and blitz to create a fragrant green curry paste; you may need to add more coconut milk if using a blender. To make the sauce by hand: Mince and stir all sauce ingredients together in a bowl, or use a mortar and pestle to mash dry ingredients followed by liquid ingredients. Set aside.
• Place a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the green curry paste. Stir-fry for 1 minute to release the fragrance.
• Add the tofu or chickpeas and stir until all ingredients are covered well with sauce.
• Add the stock plus lime leaves (if using). Stir and reduce heat to medium-low. Gently simmer 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and the vegetables, and simmer 10 to 13 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
• Remove curry from heat and taste for salt and spice.
• Serve directly out of the wok, or transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle over the fresh basil (gently tear larger leaves into shreds). Sliced red chile peppers can also be used as a topping, one that adds more heat.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid. Add the shallots with a generous pinch of salt and fry for 7-10 mins over a medium heat until softened and beginning to caramelise. Add the curry paste and chilli to the dish and fry for 2 mins. Tip in the squash and pepper, then stir through the coconut milk along with 200ml water. Add the lime leaves, cover and cook for 15-20 mins or until the squash is tender.
• Stir the mangetout and baby corn through the curry, then re-cover, cooking over a medium-low heat for a further 5 mins or until the veg is just cooked. Season and stir through half the coriander. Remove the lime leaves and discard. Spoon the curry into deep bowls, scatter with the remaining coriander and serve with rice and lime wedges for squeezing over.
