    Homemade Vegan Thai Green Curry Paste

    Jump to Recipe

    Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free Homemade Thai Green Curry Paste recipe using all fresh ingredients in few quick steps. This is a healthy alternative for Thai curry paste with no preservatives or additives.  Simply mix all the ingredients, blend, and ready to use.  To reduce your work further, make a double or triple batch of this and freeze it.

    For your next dish where you want to use the same flavors, all you have to do is pop some cubes out of the freezer.

    Add Prepared Thai Green Curry Paste to Dinner Recipes

    Cooking is not just for those who have a lot of pleasure time to spend in the kitchen. Busy families also want to put healthy and fresh meals at the family dinner tables. You can make the Thai Green Curry paste over the weekend and freeze it. Then during the weekdays, you can use it for recipes like vegetarian Thai Green Curry Quinoa.

    Just saute the vegetables of your choice in an Instant pot, add quinoa, frozen curry paste cubes, and coconut milk. Let the IP (Instant Pot) cook while you set up the dinner table and your warm fresh healthy meal will be ready just in time.

    Homemade Vegan Thai Green Curry Paste Has No Preservatives or Additives

     One of the key ingredients for any Thai green curry recipe is Thai green curry paste. Most people would usually buy it from a store assuming it is complicated to make. More affluent and health-conscious consumers will go for the high-end organic brands of green curry paste. However, you’ll be surprised to see how simple it is to make your own Thai Green Curry paste from scratch at home and then store it for extended use later.

    Way to Modify Thai Green Curry Paste

    Another big advantage of making Thai Green Curry paste at home is that you can modify the ingredients as you need. For example, I need my Thai curry paste to be vegetarian and especially do not like the smell or taste of fish oil. So, my recipe for that green curry paste is completely vegetarian and has no fish oil also. I used some of my favorite veggies such as lemongrass, green Thai chilies, shallots, garlic, galangal, cilantro, and basil with coconut milk, Soy sauce, and Lemon juice.

    Now if you don’t eat garlic, just don’t add it and substitute it for something else. To make it Gluten-free and wheat-free substitute soy sauce with Tamari.

    If you try it once, you are never going to use the store bought Thai Green Curry Paste for your dishes.

    • If you feel like, you can taste the curry and personalize it according to your taste by adjusting the spices. Remember, this is not cooked, so it is going to taste little strong. Now you can use this curry past in your dish or you can store it for future use, like I do.

    • Freeze these and then whenever you need Thai green curry flavors, simply pop a few cubes and use them.

    Notes

    Above quantity of ingredients will be enough to make curry paste for 3 - 4 batches for a family of four. Most of the Thai curry pastes available in stores use fish sauce or shrimp paste as one of the ingredients. You are welcome to use it also, if you prefer. I have not used it to keep the dish vegetarian.

      Made this for my fam and they loved it. So made it again and some extra. I have cubed paste ready to go when I need now. You will never buy store “green curry paste” again. There are so many ways to freshen up this curry each time you make it. Slit green chillies for example. Thanks for a great recipe , can’t wait to try the red one now.

      Thank you for detailed recipe. One question- Is Thai chili same as regular green chili?

        Vanitha, Thai green chilies are the small ones you get at Indian grocery store. If you don’t get those then you can use the other ones(longer ones) from the Indian store. If not then use Serrano peppers.

        Thank you
