Delicious Mixed Vegetable Curry in Coconut Milk! You could sip this curry as a soup or have it like a soup Or stew. This Mixed vegetable curry in coconut milk is yummy. We ate them with rice and some vegetables. The color of the curry, fragrance and taste is quite flavorful and colorful. I added some lady’s finger, some potatoes and some cauliflower. You could add carrots, beans, mushrooms any veggies you like.
To be honest I hate cutting veggies like lady’s finger, french beans and other long veggies. Wish someone chops and give it to me 😉 ….. I love cooking food but not chopping veggies. But have no option.
If you are a non vegetarian then add prawns, chicken or fish to the curry. Mostly coconut milk is used a lot in Goan food, Kerala food and Thai food. Coconut is my favorite love to binge on coconut water, coconut curries Or coconut dessert.
You could check some of coconut based recipes which I have shared on my blog. Some of the coconut based gravy I tried are Mussel Curry with Coconut, Coconut and Cashewnut Sukke, Mango Coconut Cupcakes, Goan Prawns Curry in coconut milk, Crab Curry with coconut and Veg Caldin Recipe.

Notes for Mix Vegetable Curry in Coconut milk:
- It’s important to know if using homemade thick coconut milk. Always add them later else it will cuddle.
- If using canned coconut milk then don’t cook it too much it may also cuddle.
- I have used boiled potatoes you could use raw potatoes. But remember that would take longer time to cook. So cook wisely.

I love the look of those spices cooking in the pot. I don’t actually mind cutting vegetables because it reminds me of my childhood cooking beside my grandmother. There were always vegetables to chop.

That’s great Suzanne 🙂

The curry looks so yummy. Chopping vegetables is something I hate too, but I’ve found a way out. I ask my boys to do the chopping and appreciate them so much, that love to help around:), I get my work done and they are happy..double whammy.
