Thai coconut vegetable curry for a healthy dinner in 25 minutes flat

Everyone loves takeout for dinner to make life a little bit easier. But what if I told you that you could make a super-healthy and equally delicious Thai-inspired curry dinner in 25 minutes or less?

Using any fresh, precut vegetables you purchase from your grocery store or veggies you’ve already chopped beforehand saves loads of time and means this dish takes minutes to prepare. For the sauce, I used full-fat coconut milk and lots of curry powder that I simmered together, yielding a lovely, fragrant sauce for the vegetables.

Serve this easy Asian dish over steamed rice or even quinoa. I found precooked rice that you can warm in the microwave in 90 seconds, saving even more time when it comes to the cooking part of this dish.
