Nisha you knocked it out of the park again! I made this for dinner tonight & it was a huge hit - thank you! I didn’t have lemon grass so it was omitted and used regular basil for the Thai basil other than that followed your recipe. People need to make this!!!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Elise, so thrilled to hear that this was a hit! Thanks for sharing your feedback!

[@TheChristopherBlake1]

✨👏👏👏👏✨

[@virginiacazares9883]

Mint or cilantro would’ve been another alternative as Thai Basil has more of those characters in it. However, glad it came out great😊

[@lindsaytoussaint]

That magical moment when you have all the ingredients and didn’t know what to cook for dinner tonight. THANK YOU

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yessss 👑 so awesome you already have everything to make this!

[@lindsaytoussaint]

Everything but the lemongrass, and I’m subbing different peppers! I’m hype!

[@UKLeonie]

Yep, this will be my Sunday dinner

[@charlesjensen7678]

You’ve said that before Ms. T. CMJ

[@JENNuineCollective]

Same here. I actually had lemongrass that didn't get used and voila, this recipe appears. Made it today and it is so amazing. I only had dried thai basil but worked fine. Can't believe I had everything I needed.

[@nicoleonfeels]

Me as a full grown adult finally learning the best way to cut an onion... thank you 🙏🏽

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha never too late!

[@joe47D]

I made this today for my wife, and we loved it! Your prep tips are very helpful, like nuking the squash prior to peeling and cutting. It helped. You make veganism so much easier!

[@tephy49]

Confession: it is completely your fault I am now obsessed with living a plant based life. Thank you for your amazing videos, suggestions and yummy secrets. Just started my vegan life style by changing the way I look at food and I am beyond happy with how my body has responded. So, thank you. Or as you say in my country: gracias. Not easy to find so many ingredients where I am from but I have managed so far to mimic many of your recipes

[@RainbowPlantLife]

That's the best confession I've heard :) So nice to hear that you're enjoying my recipes and you're feeling great eating a vegan diet!

[@wachithepotato1985]

If you have never tried making this. 100% do it now! It was so delicious that I ate it for 6 days in a row. 2 meals a day. And I'm one of those people who get sick of eating the same meal after one or two times. So freaking good, enjoyed it every time.

[@rh7982]

I didn't have any of the Thai ingredients so made this with spices I would use in an Indian curry instead (ground cumin, ground cinnamon, garam masala) and it was amaaaazing. Hands down the best curry I've ever made

[@rosalynkilgour]

I made this Sunday and I had enough leftover that I had it every night for dinner Sunday- Thursday. My mum couldn’t understand how I wasn’t fed up eating the same thing for 5 nights in a row... I wasn’t because it tasted so good!! Loved this recipe- new subscriber ☺️

[@Lertic]

This was probably the best curry I ever tasted - and I cooked it myself! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! :)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

My pleasure 😊 so happy you loved this recipe!

[@carrieanneatreides6240]

Lord. You had me at “Thai.” And then “b. squash.” And then “curry.” I’m ready for VIP Cookbook Vol. 2. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha thank you!! I’m so glad you’re into this. I’m working on the second cookbook now (well, trying to...time seems to be evaporating into thin air 😂)

[@fastrunnerification]

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Great timing! Hope you’ll enjoy this one!

[@thegayathrikable]

I'm not a vegan but I'm trying to cut back meat from my diet. I've been watching your channel for ideas and yesterday I finally subbed cos you recipes look so tasty

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Glad to hear that! Hope you’ll enjoy one of these recipes!

[@natalieayala2008]

Same here! I have done like 5 recipes so far YUM!!! Some on repeat. Didnt like the jackfruit curry tho but it was a texture issue 😂 the rest has been AMAZING!

[@jmusic45]

@@RainbowPlantLife same for me. Cutting back on meat. Trader Joe's has a great Red Curry Sauce. After your reaction to that canned Red Curry, I think I'll pass on that brand, as I can't due real spicy any more. I just try to watch out for MSG as it give me a horrible headache. I love shopping at my nearest Asian store, as their prices are lower for the exact same thing at your major grocery store in their ethnic aisles.

[@jackiecuba3414]

I am absolutely amazed at how DELICIOUS this dish came out! By far the best meal I’ve ever prepared. I used all the ingredients, no substitutions. The Thai Basil at the end is such a nice touch. This is now my #1 favorite recipe of all times. Thank you so much, Nisha. You are an incredible chef! :-)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Jackie, so nice to hear that you loved this recipe so much and it's now your favorite. So flattered :)

[@snsmith1853]

I made this for my dad and I last night. It was so good!!

[@Sarah-un3vk]

I love watching your videos! You always throw in helpful cooking tips that I can apply to other recipes as well. It's much appreciated!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

That’s so awesome to hear! So happy you’re enjoying the cooking tips and able to apply them to your own cooking!

[@ezekielarmstead7871]

I made this for dinner and this was everything I hoped it would be and more THANK YOU !!!🙏🏾

[@Salsagyrl]

This dish is perfection!! It is in my regular rotation. I just finished a bowl of it. So incredibly good and def restaurant level deliciousness!

[@astikachaithu1798]

Wait, that's genius. Putting the butternut in the microwave so it's easier to cut 😮😅

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yes! Such an quick way to make it easier to slice!

[@SenorJuan2023]

@@RainbowPlantLife For those of us who don't have a MW, how long do you think it would take in a regular oven/instapot?

[@jonap5740]

@@SenorJuan2023 The microwave was just to soften the squash enough to make it easy to cut up, I thought. You don't have to cook the squash beforehand.

[@1light4love]

@@SenorJuan2023 I don't have a microwave or a dishwasher.... Was born with arms and muscles to use them🤪More sustainable AND nutritional, being that microwaves kill a large majority of the vitamin C and B we ALL need more of right now!! 😉 Thanks for your question, lemme know what approach ya used!

[@tannerdawson7766]

What a simple, yet elegant recipe! This is the first recipe of yours that I have made all the way through and it was a big hit! I didn't have lemongrass in my grocery store so I used a trick I recently learned on Top Chef. One of the contestants was making a Thai curry and also didn't have lemongrass so she grilled lemon slices and cooked her curry with those in there. It really did give that same sort of flavor! Going to try some of your dal tips next! Thanks for all of the inspiring content!

[@megduggi]

This was outrageously good and came together so easily! love love love

[@lucypagan4940]

Made this today for dinner and I cannot begin to tell you how good it was. I didn't have lemon grass, so added some lemon zest and it gave it an incredible floral and lemony twist and flavor. My kids, who aren't vegan absolutely loved it. Can't wait to try other recipes. Great job!

[@jessicainiguez2687]

I made it yesterday for my husband’s birthday dinner. Didn’t have basil and lemon grass but it turned out delicious. Everyone loved it. Seriously this dish is a high end restaurant level! Thank you Nisha!

[@hannahw235]

This was absolutely delicious! Didn't have lemon grass, used Serrano peppers for spice, and my grocery store was out of red curry paste so I used green instead. It was still very flavorful and made tons of leftovers that I am using as my week's meal prep. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So glad to hear that it worked out well with the substitutions :) Thanks for sharing your feedback, Hannah!

[@tommyhuang1787]

I just made this today and I'm so blown away by how good this is!!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So happy you loved it! thanks for sharing Tommy!

[@lisawillconquer]

So many awesome tips! I’ve never cooked with fresh whole lemongrass before. I feel less intimidated by it after watching your video. Also, very interesting about the Thai soy sauce being saltier. Thank you for being a thoughtful and informative chef.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

You make me blush ☺️ and so nice to hear that you feel less intimidated by lemongrass now because it is such a wonderful and flavorful ingredient!

[@KH-lm8rp]

Im not a fan of chickpeas or butternut squash but THIS tastes amazing! This is now going to be a regular in our house! If you want to make it less calorific, use about half a cup of shredded coconut instead of a can of coconut milk. Its still creamy coconutty and delicious but a lot less fat!

[@melindat.1259]

OH MY GOSH! Amazing! I'm not vegan, I'm an omnivore but I'm trying to eat more plants. I made this recipe tonight for dinner. Holy moly. So good. The differences are that I used homemade red curry paste, I did not add spinach at the end, and I used chicken stock instead of veggie stock. It's so good. Thank you so much for this recipe!

[@Yishuecansu]

Nisha, I love your channel! As a fellow Harvard grad and long-term stressed lawyer, I’m so happy to see you following your dreams and doing what makes you happy. I’ve been plant based for a few years and am always looking for flavorful recipes, so I’m happy to have discovered your channel just a few days ago. After a few watches, I ordered your cookbook and already have it in hand. I can’t wait to try those recipes as well as ones on your channel. I love your tips on freezing things like stock and herbs to avoid waste. One thing I am interested in seeing you do a video on would be your tips for storing your most commonly used fruits, veggies and other perishables. I have a system that sort of works, but I’m not completely satisfied. It would be great to hear some of your ideas and tips.

[@monifakincaid6096]

This looks so yummy! Going to try it this week as I have a ton of already diced butternut squash! I love your recipes. Thank you!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Ooh how convenient! So happy. you enjoy my recipes, Monifa!

[@christinastevenson2614]

[@sharonobenland2603]

Made it today and I can't give enough encouragement to use Thai basil for the most amazing depth it give this dish along with aroma! And thank you for the tip to use the lemongrass ends for tea--having that now!

[@LeahWalentosky]

I made this recipe, it’s really good I only changed the following: I used lentils instead of chickpeas as I didn’t have chickpeas on hand, greens are expensive in my area so I used red coleslaw I saved from the previous growing season (turned out beautifully), I served it on wild rice which I got from a Native American grocer (locally harvested and nutritious) and I used ponzu soy sauce which is a Japanese soy sauce infused with citrus (living far north it’s important to include a lot of vitamin d in your diet this time of year). It turned out well. Thank you for sharing.
