This hearty vegan red curry is spicy, savory, and ready to serve in just 30 minutes. Lemongrass, crushed red pepper, and fresh garlic add an extra infusion of flavor to the base of Thai red curry paste, while coconut milk works its plant-based magic to create a velvety sauce that will leave you licking the bowl. Little red potatoes and riced cauliflower absorb the aromatic curry until they’re plump and tender, but feel free to add in any other favorite veggies you have on hand. Serve over brown rice with a garnish of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime to indulge in a dish that’s just as much a feast for the eyes as it is your mouth.

(5 from 1 vote)Delicious and easy! My sons are not usually huge fans of curry but they devoured this! The leftovers reheated really well for lunch at work the next day too!
Hi, wouldn’t this be high in saturated fat using the coconut milk? Thank you.
Hello Martin, can you check out how the body process's. I took a class but cannot completely remember but I think the coconut milk goes directly to the liver and not the blood stream. Don't quote me on this but I thought that helped w/the saturated fat of coconut milk? I am going to do more research on this also. Lenna
Hi Martin, We recommend getting the refrigerated style of coconut milk, which is much lower in fat than the standard canned version. Sometimes it's also called Coconut Beverage. Let us know how it turns out!
