This is a very easy Thai curry, which is just so delicious ! It is low in fat and the flavours just linger on your palette. So if you want to enjoy a Thai at home, or wish to make it for friends, then look no further. I made enough for 2 days, which rocks, because I have a whole lot of stuff waiting to be sorted out after my return from holiday.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
sesame oil for gentle frying
2 spring onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 zucchini (courgettes), roughly chopped
1 sweet potato, roughly chopped
10 mushrooms, sliced
1 small red pepper, roughly chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, finely chopped
½ tsp galangal powder (optional)
2 cups (500 mL) coconut milk
2 tsp Thai green curry paste
1 cup broccoli florets (pre-steamed)
1 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
salt to taste
1 tsp agave nectar, or maple syrup
1 tsp raw sesame seeds (for garnishing)
METHOD
- In a saucepan, pour a little sesame oil, and fry your courgettes until slightly golden, turning them around as you do so. You may wish to bake them on a baking tray, and brush with sesame oil on both sides, if you wish to avoid frying them. Set aside.
- Next, in another saucepan, fry the mushrooms for a few minutes until they yield their juices, then, when cooked, spoon onto the courgettes.
- Using the same empty saucepan, fry the sweet potato until a little golden on both sides, then add the onion, ginger and garlic, and continue to mix. At this point, stir in the green curry paste, and then add the coconut milk. Lower the heat, and allow the potatoes to soften – check this with a fork.
- Now add the pre-steamed broccoli florets, the red pepper, and the remaining ingredients.
- Simmer for 15 minutes, and then serve.
Rose Rice Pistachios & Lime
I served this rice with the Thai curry – you may of course opt for the sticky rice – but I fancied a change. Here is the easy to make recipe for you. It compliments the dish so wonderfully. This is a little bit of a fusion, but one that works beautifully.
INGREDIENTS
basmati rice, boiled according to instructions (I used 2 cups rice)
1 Tbsp rose water
the zest of 1 lime
a handful of non-salted pistachio nuts
METHOD
Just boil and drain the rice, rinse with tepid or cold water, then garnish with the remaining ingredients and voila, tis there for you. Serve hot with the curry and enjoy !!!

Isn’t it too cooked? I like my vegs very lightly cooked.
What about adding Tofu (bean-curd)to the ingredients?
Thank you Miriam for your great recipes.
Hassan Hi there, no it is not too cooked – some veggies are great crisp, such as the red pepper and here they are crisp. The potato is not nice crisp and needs to soften but sweet potatoes tend to soften quite fast. By all means just shorten the time span of of cooking it, that’s simple enough. Also by all means add tofu – I just wanted a soy free option here, and with the pistachio rice and the rest of the ingredients it’s pretty much a full flavoured and filling dish. Hope you enjoy it too ! Best wishes your way in the meantime.
This must be so good, I can almost smell it just looking at the pictures and list of ingredients!
I’m looking for a print friendly version, haven’t discovered any such button. Is it available? (Printing the page will take up 4 pages)
Wow what an interesting idea for the rice! And I have rosewater in my cupboard from some rosewater cupcakes that I made, so this I shall definitely be trying. I just had to google galangal powder – never heard of that before. I’ll look out for it. What kind of flavour does it impart?
Hi Andrea, thanks for your comment. The rice is simple, nothing out of this world – as for the Galangal powder that you asked about it’s really got a taste of it’s own, a little like ginger, it’s good. Hope that answers your question (popped it on my page first but realized you will receive the answer here). Best to you.
Hi there Peggy, sorry about that, I don’t have a specific button. You can just print the page as one page, or copy and paste the recipe content on a separate page and print. Hope you make the curry and if and when come back and let me know about it. Best wishes your way in the meantime !
I am addicted to Thai Green Curry but did not know how to make it. This looks even better than what I get at the Thai resurant. I shall return to see what else you have. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Made the curry tonight. It was delicious! I did not have any rosewater so used Numi tea (my favourite tea brand by far) White Rose instead. First boiled the (15 min) rice in water for 10 minutes, made the tea and replaced water with tea, teabag included, for the last 5 minutes. Smells and tastes lovely, very subtle and lovely with the lime zest!
Thanks for this delicious recipe!
Peggy Hi there and thanks for dropping by here with your comment and feedback – I am delighted that you have made and enjoyed my Thai curry. Great that you had your Rose brand teabag handy. The aroma of it all sure is lovely, and yes, I agree subtle too. If you love curries do go to my curry/curries category section and see what else may grab your fancy. Best wishes your way in the meantime !

Good afternoon 🙂 Miriam, this dish is absolutely delicious! I made this recipe for lunch today for my boyfriend and myself and we both loved it! The only thing I did differently was not add the option spice. We had cumin rice with it because I have never heard of rose water before. Absolutely delicious, will definitely be making this amazing recipe again!!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing culinary skills and this tasty recipe. 🙂

oooh this was yummy. Family all got up for seconds and fought for leftovers the next day… a true sign of success 🙂
Anna-Maria Hi there and thanks for popping by here with your comment. I am most delighted that your wonderful family loved this curry and kudos goes to you for making it for them – you really must be flavour of the month for them with these choices. I hope to be posting another curry soon (most of them are child friendly too, and you may adjust them to suit your families preferences). Best wishes your way in the meantime and look forward to your future comments on my blog !
Hi Mirriam..was just wondering if there is any substitute for coconut milk….while l love curries l just can not do coconut milk….also with the pesto l don’t do nuts should l just skip these… Have been making the salads and stews lovely…thanks for sharing your lovely recipes.
Noma Hi there and welcome here. You can substitute the coconut milk with any non-dairy cream available – I don’t know the brands sold in your part of the world but soya cream (not a coffee creamer) but rather a non-dairy cream substitute is what you need. Google what is sold in your country and as both your supermarket and health food store and I am sure you will find something there – then you can use that in your curries (be sure it’s not over sweetened if using for food. Now for the pestos you can use gently roasted sunflower seeds instead of nuts. Hope this helps you. Best wishes your way !
I bet almond milk the one with out sugar would be outstanding in this recipe.
Made this the other night! Husband loved it! We’ve slowly introduced more meat-free meals and somehow came across your site and it’s amazing! I love how easy and TASTY all your recipes are — helpful for a newbie like me! Thank you!

This was so good!!! Completely curbs my insane Thai cravings, that I’ve had lately. I made it for the second time last night and doubled up to have leftovers for days. You could almost serve as a soup as well. THANK YOU!!!
Bridget thanks for wonderful comment and feedback. I am truly delighted that you have made and enjoyed this twice. Your words are so apt in terms of curbing an appetite for Thai as I made it with that in mind and heart. I look forward to your future comments on my blog. Do try my broccoli & coconut soup, it’s very easy to make and perhaps you may wish to browse my other curries at some point here. Best wishes your way dear Bridget and I look forward to your future comments on my blog !

Diana Hi there and glad to hear that you have made and enjoyed this Thai Green Curry of mine, that’s awesome. I look forward to your future comments on my blog. Best your way in the meantime.
Hi
Every green curry paste that I have seen contains either fish sauce or shrimp paste. Of course one could make one’s own without it, but I don’t generally have time for that. I don’t have ‘vegan’ options for such items in Australia. Do you have vegan versions of commercial paste?
Made my dinner plans very easy. Thank you for sharing your recipes. I have never been disappointed.
Hi there Laurin, how kind of you to say so – thanks and I hope you continue to enjoy them. Let me know how the next one goes. Cheers to you !
Hi there Val thanks for your comment – here are some resources that may help you in Australia.
