Vegetables Thai Green Curry

Vegetables Thai Green Curry

Vegetables Thai Green Curry

Recipe Adapted from  Australian Women's Weekly - Easy Thai-style Cookery  


Green Curry Paste:  Blend into fine paste

3 fresh green chillies
1 small red onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander (including roots)
2 stalks lemon grass
1 small knob galangal, peeled
1 piece shrimp paste, roasted until fragrant and dry
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp turmeric
3 kaffir lime leaves, spine removed
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp water


1 carrots, cut into chunks
1 egg plant, cut into chunks
200g french beans, cut into 2cm length
1/4 cabbage, cut into big pieces
half a pack of tofu puffs
10 button mushroom
1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
palm sugar, to taste
fish sauce, to taste

  • In a wok, heat about 2 tbsp oil and stir fry green curry paste until aromatic.  
  • Add in 3/4 of the coconut milk and bring to the boil.
  • Put in tofu puffs and vegetables (thicker and harder vegetables should go in first since they take longer to cook). Cook until all vegetables are tender.
  • Season with palm sugar and fish sauce.  Then tip in the remaining coconut milk.
  • Serve immediately with steamed rice.

  1. Hi Veronica
    I was preparing to try my hand to cook this Green Curry too but....aigh......lazy bug just visited me again. I love all types of curry but frankly speaking have yet to taste this Thai Green Curry. But it must be very flavourful.

    1. This is my second time cooking green curry. First time my curry wasn't green enough but this time I am quite happy with the colour. For me any curry with coconut milk is flavoursome.

  3. Good morning Veronica. Love your green curry. Your dish has just reminded me that I haven't been to a Thai restaurant for a long time. My fav are the tofu puffs & egg plants.

    1. Hi Jessie this reminded me of the Thai restaurants in Sydney. Every time I visited my friend in Sydney I will request that she takes me to a Thai restaurant. I couldn't find as good a Thai restaurant in Melbourne yet.

  8. i'm glad that you were able to find all these ingredients to make the curry from scratch..this dish also reminds me of our local curry vegetable dish where we can find them in some of the 'chap fan' stalls..
