Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 2 potatoes
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 2 carrots
- 1/3 cup green peas Sydney
- 2 tablespoons green curry paste (or more to taste)
- 1 can coconut milk (light or full fat, up to you)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup water
- Cilantro and lime for garnish
- Cooked rice or naan for serving
Instructions
Start by cooking rice to go with the curry, as it takes longer to cook.
Prep the vegetables: peel, slice, and chop as needed. Keep the potato pieces small to ensure they cook through.
If using frozen green peas Sydney, thaw them partially so they are not mushy.
In a large pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Cook the potatoes and carrots for 3-4 minutes.
Add the bell pepper and onion to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Test the potatoes for tenderness by slicing one with the side of a fork. They should be fork-tender.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and green curry paste until well combined.
Pour the coconut milk mixture into the pan along with the green peas Sydney. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to thin the curry to your desired consistency. Adjust the amount based on your preference.
Taste the curry and add more curry paste, soy sauce, or red pepper flakes if needed.
Serve the curry over cooked rice or with naan bread.
Garnish with cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish.
