Enjoy the aromatic flavours of Thai cuisine with this delicious Vegan Thai Red Curry. Full of plant-powered goodness to satisfy your hunger and taste buds.
When I want a meal that is warm, comforting, quick and fairly low-effort, then a Thai curry is where it’s at. I always keep homemade curry pastes in my freezer, ready to use whenever I want. Combine them with coconut milk and your favourite vegetables or protein of choice and serve alongside some rice or noodles and you have a recipe worth returning to time and time again.
The secret to a good curry is of course a good curry paste!
If you don’t have the Thai red curry paste already sitting in your fridge/freezer, then don’t worry because it takes just 5 minutes to blend up the paste from scratch, and it’s ready to use immediately.
