A flavourful healthy and authentic tasting Thai green curry dish with a DIY curry paste blended with all the right spices and flavours pulled together with coconut milk and served on rice in under 30 min!
I was very much in my happy place when I finally nailed this Thai Green Curry recipe. It completely brought me back to the days where Mr. Matt and I were travelling throughout South East Asia and Australia.
One of my favourite memories from Thailand was taking a Thai cooking class in a little city called Chang Mai. We created everything from crispy spring rolls to every curry you can think of. Travelling and experiencing new flavours and cooking methods has really shaped and changed the way I cook in my own kitchen today.
I learned about new ingredients like lemongrass and keffir lime, which is key to perfecting the best Thai curries. I love that I can recreate my favourite dishes from travelling and relive the memories through food.
The DIY green curry paste comes together in minutes just by simply blending together all the right flavours and Simply Organic spices to achieve a beautiful and vibrant green paste, which you can then use to create amazing curries from scratch.
When it comes to veggies and protein in curries you can really add anything your heart desires. I chose a combination of red pepper, broccolini, peas and chicken but baby eggplant and tofu work great too! Once you have the curry base perfected the rest is easy so have fun!

[…] for me, and make it at home, it turned out delicious. I even made my own green curry paste with Nikole’s recipe. So good as I love cilantro, garlic and ginger flavors. […]

Something I’ve always wanted to do is take a cooking class in Chiang Mai! I really want to learn how to make curry or Pad Thai. Anyways, this curry looks so so yummy! I make vegan curries all the time and I love them!
