Loaded with vegetables and a mild curry flavor, make this a great dinner. And it comes together in under 30 minutes.
Do you like curry? Curry makes me very happy! It is so delightfully flavorful. And the hubs loves it, so I am always trying to find great curry recipes.
I am part of a Freezer Meal Swap group (You can learn how to host your own), each month we swap 2 meals with 5 other people. So we end up with 12 meals a month. It is awesome. Last month, one of the group members made a green curry. It was delicious, so I asked for the recipe. She sent Martha Stewart’s recipe. And while it was yummy, I had to change it up. And it ended up being pretty different. But seriously good.

Perfect for meatless Monday or any day of the week.
This green curry recipe is made with lots of green veggies, but I throw in carrots for the extra flavor and I just love a pop of color. I have added sweet mini peppers in the past as well, and really loved it with them too, although it does change the flavor some.
To make this specific recipe I used a yellow curry powder that is dry, and can be found in the spice section, usually referred to just as “Curry Powder”, but you can also experiment and use curry pastes if you would like. If you want less of a curry flavor, feel free to cut back on the amount of curry used. Although it is fairly mild already because the other vegetables help tone the curry down.
One last tip: Use the canned coconut milk, not the boxed kind for this recipe. It is a little thicker and has a slightly different flavor. Enjoy!

The meal swap is very helpful for me, you should give it a try. You could always start small and just swap one or two meals with a friend.

Yum! I’ve had curry before but not green curry! The recipe looks simple enough!
Rachael says
It is not truly green curry, as I did not use a green curry paste, but all the green vegetables make it green. It is easy to make and has a lot of flavor.
LaTonya (Detroit Mom) says
Wow! That’s a lot of ingredients. I tend to stay away from recipes with too many ingredients. Looks good though I’ve never had curry

This looks like a great and easy healthy dish. But I have to say I was memorized at how the picture looked and I know you were wanting us to focus on the dish itself but all I could think was Wow!! she can really take good photographs so pretty, bright and clear and I love that little blurry part where it makes your healthy dish pop! I’m not even a photographer but I just couldn’t help being amazed at your beautiful picture taking skills…anyways back on track..I love curry so I will have to try this healthy dish for my family.
Rachael says
Thank you, that means a lot to me. Getting good pictures is so much work, and I agonize over it.
