Thai Vegetarian Green Curry
1
Person talking
I adapted this delicious green curry from a recipe I found online. When I have vegetarian guests, I often make this along side recipe #19012 Thai Zucchini for a complete meal. Feel free to add the more traditional keffir lime leaves as a replacement for the lime juice if you're able to find them. Note: cooking time will be longer if your cooking real chicken.

This very good curry was made as per recipe, other than cutting down the amount of curry paste to 4 tblsp, it was still very spicy and DH does not do well with overly spicy food. I did have to omit the eggplant, but picked up on your zucchini suggestion, and added them directly to the curry, also some green beans, since I enjoy them in green curry. I used chicken breasts, just enough for DH to enjoy. Served on steamed white rice. Easily prepared even for those not used to curry, this was delicious, thank you OwlMonkey!
