Coconut Milk Curry Main Dishes

Vegan Green Coconut Curry

Green Coconut Curry With Spring Vegetables & Cauliflower Rice

For all you busy bees and meal preppers: You can absolutely make this curry in a hurry! (See what I did there??)  In 30 minutes you will have a quick & easy weeknight meal!

It also keeps well in the fridge and is easy to reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop throughout the week. If it gets too thick throughout the week, add a little water or coconut milk to thin out and reheat.

This makes 2-3 servings, but you might find your polishing it off in 2 because, trust me, it’s hard to resist a second bowl.

Made with Native Forest® Coconut Milk  by Lauren Kirchmaier of Flora & Vino.
