    Ingredients

    • 1 tbsp coconut oil
    • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
    • 2 medium carrots, sliced thin
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 14.5 ounce can coconut milk, divided
    • 3 tbsp masaman curry paste, *see notes

    Notes

    Masaman Curry Paste is found in your local Asian grocery store or online. You may even find it in large supermarkets. It contains fish and shellfish. If you can't find masaman curry feel free to substitute red, yellow or green curry paste.
    Use full-fat coconut milk: This will make the Thai Vegetable Curry feel even more filling and luxurious. Here is our favorite brand of coconut milk.
    Double batch: Make a double batch and freeze half for later. It's perfect for meal prep!
    Add different vegetables: I've included a list below of vegetables that will work well in this recipe, but use what you have on hand! Thai Vegetable Curry is a great way to use up vegetables from the fridge.
    Add a little heat: Masaman is a mild curry, however, if you'd like a little heat, add in a dried chili pepper when you are cooking the curry paste, or add in a little chili powder.
