One of the dishes I enjoyed there no less than three times was a green curry so vibrant in color I was instantly obsessed. It was perfectly seasoned, creamy, and super comforting when we were thousands of miles from home. You know the rest of the story. Once we got home, I got straight into the kitchen to try my hand at recreating this dish. The results? Kind of amazing. This recipe requires just 9 ingredients and comes together in roughly 30 minutes (without sides). The green color in this dish comes from greens! I went with spinach, but I’m guessing you could easily opt for kale or even collard greens – whatever you have on hand. And for the intense curry flavor I went with my DIY Curry Powder* (that I’m putting on everything these days), which gets diffused and slightly sweetened with light coconut milk. Swoon. *Note: you can learn more about curry powder and its origin here. Once the flavors simmer together for a while, transfer to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Then place back on the stove to warm until thickened and bubbly. This curry was always destined to be paired with brown rice, my Coconut Curried Greens, and my Crispy Tofu seasoned with DIY Curry Powder. How could I resist? The pairing is absolutely phenomenal. I ate the leftovers three nights in a row and was sad for the last bite to come. If you’d rather, you could also add green lentils to the sauce for protein, vegetables of choice like mushrooms or bell peppers, or even eggplant. The sauce is so flavorful and creamy it would pair well with just about anything you can dream up. I hope you all LOVE this curry!

I highly, highly recommend pairing it with the sides I recommended, but it would also pair well with these Thai Spring Rolls with Cashew Dipping Sauce. If you try this recipe, let us know!
