GREEN CURRY (VEGETARIAN)



Green Curry (Vegetarian) image

Green because of all the green vegetables in it, not because it uses green curry paste. An Indian-style curry from Anna Thomas' "The Vegetarian Epicure Book Two". Very hot, delicious, and filling. Don't be put off by the long ingredient list--it's mostly spices. The recipe says it serves 6-8 but those are really big servings! I'd say more like 8-10, or even more if small portions. Good with basmati rice and a nice cool raita.

1 tablespoon coriander powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika (or use additional cayenne)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated gingerroot

  • Saute over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to release the flavors of the spices, then add the vegetables, ginger, chilis, lemon juice, and water.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (14 ounce) cans unsweetened coconut milk
2 medium yellow squash
1 medium zucchini
3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
1 large sweet onion, sliced
1 cup snow peas
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon green curry paste, or more to taste
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup vegetable broth
½ cup baby corn, drained
½ cup sliced bamboo shoots, drained
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cubed
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
10 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • Skim cream off the top of the coconut milk; set both cream and milk aside. Slice yellow squash and zucchini lengthwise, then cut each slices into quarters.
  • Heat 1/2 of the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute squash, zucchini, onion, pea pods, mushrooms, and garlic until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not brown.
  • Heat remaining oil in a separate large frying pan over medium heat. Fry curry paste with coconut cream in the hot oil for 1 minute to take the bitterness off of the spice. Add coconut milk, frozen peas, vegetable broth, baby corn, bamboo shoots, sugar, and soy sauce; bring just barely to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Just before serving, stir in tofu, sprouts, and basil. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Green Curry Recipes
  • Preparation: The first step in making vegetarian green curry is to prepare the ingredients. This includes chopping the ginger, kaffir leaves, lemongress, chilies, and eggplant.
  • Coconut Milk: Coconut Milk is an important ingredient in many green curries. Be sure to use fresh coconut milk for the best results. Canned coconut milk will work in a pinch, but fresh coconut milk will give your curry a much more pronounced coconutty dish.
  • Vegetables: The most common green curry includes eggplant and bamboo. Tofu and peas are also popular additions.
  • Taste: Green curry is a complex dish with many different flavors. It should be creamy from the coconut milk, spicy from the chilies, and have a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar. Conclusion

    Green curry is a delicious and vibrant dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Serve it with rice or noodles and enjoy!
