15 Plant-Based Green Curry Recipes

Green curry is thought to be the spiciest Thai curry. Green Cayenne peppers color the curry green and Thai green chilies are what give it the spice. It also has a distinct flavor that makes it less versatile than say a red curry, but it’s still wildly popular among curry lovers. Enjoy!
