Hello lovelies, I have a quick and healthy recipe for you today: quick curry with green vegetables. You can use the vegetables you have available at home, so be flexible. Of course that’s important now. We currently eat a lot of green vegetables, lettuce and fruits to strengthen our immune system and stay healthy.

You only need a few ingredients for the curry, coconut milk and a curry paste - I used the yellow one. Also a side dish like rice, quinoa or whatever else you like to eat with your curry. And obviously vegetables, I had zucchini, broccoli, beans, some Brussels sprouts and fresh spinach.

The curry is packed with healthy vegetables and you can really use your favorites here, or use up what has to go. This is what I like about these simple recipes, I think it’s especially important these days to use up what you have at home to avoid unnecessary shopping. I will pay more attention to this in the next recipes.

We had black rice as a side dish, but you can of course also serve another rice, quinoa, couscous or bulgur – what matters here too is to take what your pantry has to offer. Salted nuts such as peanuts as a topping would also be very tasty.

I hope you will try the delicious yellow curry. I already have other curry recipes on the blog here. It‘s also super good with this delicious naan, which we also love very much!

Bye for now!

TIPS

Verena's notes

Tip from my kitchen: this curry is my lifesaver on busy weeknights – it is on the table in about 30 minutes. Feel free to use whatever green vegetables you have on hand; peas, Swiss chard or pak choi work just as well. If you like it spicier, stir in a little more curry paste or a fresh chili. We love to serve it with black rice, but basmati, quinoa or bulgur go wonderfully with it too.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

  • Green vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, green beans, Brussels sprouts and spinach are ideal. But feel free to use whatever is in your fridge – peas, Swiss chard or pak choi also work wonderfully in this curry.

  • I like to use yellow curry paste because it is mild and creamy. Red or green paste works just as well – just make sure it is vegan, as some pastes contain fish sauce or shrimp paste.

  • From prep to serving you need about 30 minutes: roughly 15 minutes for chopping the vegetables and 10–15 minutes of simmering. That makes it a perfect weeknight dinner.

  • Yes, the curry tastes even more aromatic reheated. It keeps for 2–3 days in a sealed container in the fridge. I cook the rice fresh, but the curry itself is perfect for meal prep.

  • Rice is the classic – we love it with black rice, but basmati, quinoa, couscous or bulgur are great too. Fresh cilantro, sesame and pomegranate seeds make a delicious topping.
