This coconut curry recipe is another old favorite that I needed to revamp the photos. It is one of my favorite recipes that are very simple to prepare.
This recipe was so simple, it reminded me of my Curry Cabbage recipe that uses a simple inexpensive vegetable but has an amazing taste.

Zucchini and Green Peas Coconut Curry is a basic coconut milk curry.
Coconut milk gives the curry a creamy sweet taste that neutralizes the bitterness of the spices.

Tips For Making Zucchini And Green Peas Coconut Curry
1. Use Chief brand curry powder or make your own Easy Curry Powder Recipe, It really makes a big difference which kind of curry powder blend you use.
2. I love to use fresh ginger, you wash and freeze your ginger to it lasts longer.

Notes
OMG! this is FABULOUS! I’d give it 10 stars if I could. I added a can of drained chickpeas to up the protein and it was divine.
Thank you very much Elizabeth for your feedback, I’m so happy you enjoyed it.
Quite tasty and easy to make. My husband said this was the best dish I’ve ever made! Better than curries in restaurants. Wow! I modified by adding small bite sized pieces of cauliflower and subbed shallots that I had on hand. No garlic (allergic). Served over brown rice. I will definitely make this again with compliments like that! Thanks for the keeper recipe!
Delicious!
