Ingredients

• 400 ml Low-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Green curry paste (low-fat and store-bought or homemade)
• 250 ml Vegetable broth (low-sodium)
• 1 Lemongrass stalks, finely chopped
• 3 Kaffir lime leaves, torn
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fish sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian/vegan version)
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional for extra heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat a splash (about 2 teaspoons) of water or vegetable broth over medium heat to prevent sticking, as no oil will be used.

Step 2

Add the green curry paste to the pan and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 3

Pour in the low-fat coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine the paste with the liquid base.

Step 4

Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pan. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 5

Stir in the fish sauce (or soy sauce for a vegetarian/vegan option), lime juice, and brown sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more lime juice for tanginess, sugar for sweetness, or curry paste for spice).

Step 6

If you prefer extra heat, sprinkle chili flakes into the sauce at this stage.

Step 7

Simmer the mixture for another 8-10 minutes on low heat, allowing it to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Remove the lemongrass stalk pieces and kaffir lime leaves before serving for a smoother texture.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired, and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, or use as a sauce for vegetables, tofu, chicken, or shrimp.
