Delicious Green Coconut Curry 🥥 Easy, Homemade, Plant-based Curry Recipe for Vegans

Coconut is an incredibly versatile ingredient and can be found in curries from India, Thailand, the Philippines, and many other places.
➡️ Here's a simple green coconut curry to make right at home!
This is a nutrient-dense and a totally vegan recipe!
Garlic, onion, jalapeno, ginger, and lime, all of which have intense flavors in their own right, combine with several spices to give the curry the classical spiciness it’s known for.
➡️ The curry will go through a few transformations as it goes from raw ingredients to being reduced to a paste, to its revival in a liquid form due to adding coconut milk, to the final addition of all of the vegetables.
The curry is made hearty with the addition of several filling veggies like zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, and even some tofu!

▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
CURRY PASTE:
1/2 cup / 40g - Cilantro (coriander) stem & roots (THOROUGHLY WASHED to get rid of any dirt)
1 Tablespoon / 4 to 5 Garlic approx.
1/2 Tablespoon / 1/2 Inch ginger approx.
1 Jalapeno / 20g
Zest of 1 lime / 1/2 Tablespoon
1/2 cup / 70g Onion
1 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or to taste (Optional)
1/2 Teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoon cooking oil (I have used light olive oil)
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
3 cups / 700ml Coconut milk
1 cup / 250ml Water
Salt to taste ( I have added 1+1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
1 cup / 100g Red Bell Pepper - chopped
1 cup / 100g Green Bell Pepper - chopped
1 cup / 100g Zucchini - chopped
1+1/2 cup / 100g Mushrooms - chopped (I have used Cremini mushroom)
1 cup / 150g Firm Tofu - cut into cubes (I have used organic non-gmo tofu)
1 cup / 100g Broccoli (65g) - chopped
1 to 1/2 cup / 50 to 100g Snap Peas - remove the strings from the sides and chop in half or leave it whole
Lime Juice to taste (I have added 1 tablespoon I like it a bit sour)
▶️ METHOD: (3 to 4 servings)
Start by adding cilantro stems/roots, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, onion, lime zest to a blender and make a puree. (Please note: Add only 1/2 tablespoon of ginger, if you add too much the dish will turn bitter. Also, thoroughly wash the cilantro roots and stem to get rid of any dirt.)
Transfer the puree to a deep pot. Add the spices, cooking oil and cook over medium heat until it forms a thick paste and the oil starts to separate - which means it's nicely roasted. Then add the coconut milk, water, salt and bring it to a boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover and cook for about 20 minutes - for the flavours to develop.
Uncover and add the vegetables and tofu. Turn the heat to medium or medium high (depending on the heat of your stove) and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes uncovered, until the zucchini is just slightly soft but still has a bite to it. Cook the gravy to the desired consistency. Add the broccoli, snap peas and cook for a few seconds and turn off the heat. Please note we don't want to over cook the broccoli/ snap peas, it will continue to cook in the hot gravy even after turning off the heat.
Enjoy it with freshly steamed rice or as a soup. This recipe is perfect for meal prep and stores well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
- Thoroughly wash the cilantro roots and stems to get rid of any dirt
- Add only 1/2 tablespoon of ginger, if you add too much the dish will turn bitter
- Make sure to cook the curry paste until the oil starts to separate, this will add a lot of flavour

I made this recipe, and it was delicious! My husband has never been a fan of curry, but he loved this dish. I will be adding this recipe to our meal rotation. I love your videos and the recipes I have tried so far. Thank you so much!

[@FoodImpromptu]

So awesome to hear that! Thanks so glad you liked it :)

[@brd8764]

not this.

[@yogawithangie2292]

Looks great, thanks! From a nutrition perspective, always add black pepper when cooking with turmeric, to increase its bioavailability.

[@alyssisparrotplay4069]

Ginger (which she added in her green paste) also helps to increase bioavailability for those who don't tolerate black pepper.

[@subsubsciber3657]

@@alyssisparrotplay4069 Thats really good to know - I knew about the black pepper but not that ginger worked the same way with tumeric - cheers!

[@SangeetaGupta-self65]

Yes,true Also,I feel coconut milk should not be heated so much ...add towards the end for its nutrition benefit

[@sandie157]

@@SangeetaGupta-self65 Yes, that would be an Indian methodology. The Thai always cook (boil) their veggies or meat in a lot of liquid...in this case coconut milk . Btw, thanks, I didn't realise that was why the Indian method of cookery put the coconut milk last. Makes a lot of sense. 🙏

[@Lakshyam9]

@@sandie157 hi. In Indian methodology, after extracting the coconut milk, we dilute one portion with water and boil the veggies in this diluted version. After they are cooked, we add the thick coconut milk and simmer. That way, you get the flavor and don't lose the nutrients!

[@Blueskies7775]

One of the BEST vegan KZbin Channels! I love it! Love from Ontario, Canada! 🇨🇦

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you! :)

[@technodrome]

Also before the purists start coming in - not everyone has access to galangal and kaffir lime leaves. Even in the SF Bay Area with its big Asian population, I found kaffir leaves to be sparse and rare. Coriander root and lime zest does the trick in getting the base taste down really well. Ginger is not galangal but often times the best we can do. Much love, good to see you posting again. Edit: for those who want nice canned curry paste recommendation for the Thai variety - Maesri is the best, and Maeploy is close but second.

[@marinazagrai1623]

Just tell the purists to “get stuffed”! I live in SE Tx, with a huge Asian community from all nations, and I find that sometimes an American grocer (serving a mixed Asian community) has most ingredients for all recipes…I don’t know where the lime leaves can be found, unless you grow the lime tree in your backyard!

[@farstrider79]

And a jar of large jar Maeploy bought online for $5 will make A LOT of curry, months worth.

[@InviteTheLightReadings]

Whole food sells lime leaves every once in awhile

[@farihareza6464]

From this video I have first learned that coriander roots are edible. I love this idea. I also didn’t know fresh snap peas could be eaten with peel on!

[@FoodImpromptu]

😊

[@ranjinis4289]

Yeah. I was wondering for the same reasons

[@babitatapandas]

What about worms in peas

[@FoodImpromptu]

@@babitatapandas - These a young and tender snap peas which are usually eaten whole but if you have any concerns about worms, you can always chop the peas in half :)

[@pallavis7580]

Corriander roots in grinder part is really unsettling for me😬....it belongs to scrap

[@ShelitaRN]

okay OMG! I thought you were gonna open up a jar of green curry paste! This is so amazing, I can't wait to make this and the veggies are my favorite! Thank you soooo much!

[@FoodImpromptu]

Glad you liked the recipe. Let me know how it goes :)

[@isabellelaval7294]

Th you 4 this appetising recipe. Perfectly explained, beautifully filmed, right to the point. I especially appreciate your listing the exact amount of each ingredient, it's extremely important to cooks like me who are eager to try this type of recipe but who are completely out of their depth with using this kind of spices. Watching from France, will make this soon. Pl keep them coming.

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you! Let me know how it goes :)

[@going-mute]

It's such a joy to see someone use the cilantro roots.

[@sandie157]

This looks so fresh and yummy. Thanks, I love how you cooked all the ingredients down to a paste. That would really pull out the flavour

[@ChantaltheFrency]

Nice to have a new recepi from you.! Thanks for sharing will make it next week👍❤️❤️👍

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thanks! Let me know how it goes :)

[@DS-uh2sf]

Amazing more fry recipes please.

[@jayponn]

Excellent dish. Thank you

[@stlounsbury]

I made it, I love it!! It’s really easy once you get going with the chopping😊Everything smells so good during the chopping up. I had this years ago and could never find it again; the kits in the grocery store are pricy so when I found your recipe and the ingredients were just a few dollars, I wanted to try to make it. It’s much less expensive than buying the kits and it’s more fresh. A complete winner of a recipe, I will make this often. Thank you.

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thanks! Let me know how it goes :)

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup for this, I'll try it. My Malysian friends would always heat the spices first, it wakes up the flavors. You should also cook the stem of the broccoli. Cut it into slices or dices and cook it longer than the florettes. Very crunchy and they taste better than the top part.
