Fragrant coconut curry with vegetables and aromatic green curry paste
By RecipesQueen Kitchen • June 10, 2026
Thai green curry is comfort food for the soul — vegetables and protein swimming in a fragrant coconut milk sauce infused with green curry paste, basil, and lime.
Start by blooming the curry paste in oil before adding coconut milk. This intensifies the flavor.
Serve over jasmine rice to soak up every drop of that incredible sauce.
