Thai Vegetable Curry with Coconut Milk

A few weeks ago, we had some friends over for dinner and we wanted a vegetarian meal. I wanted a meal that was easy to make but most importantly full of flavor. So I thought of a Thai vegetable curry with coconut milk and frankly this dish met all our criteria!

We enjoyed it and it is so easy to prepare. The most time consuming part is preparing all the ingredients and cutting the vegetables, but then they cook quickly. I easily found all the ingredients between the market and my local Asian grocery store.

Anyway, we loved this dish so much that friends asked for the recipe the following week, so that’s part of the reason I’m sharing it today 😉 and I thought you might like this recipe too. It’s just the kind of vegetarian dish you never get bored of at the table and really enjoy!
