Vegetable Thai Green Curry
I don't have time to make my own paste but I have found a great Green Curry Kit from Thai Taste - all the ingredients are natural and there are no added preservatives or other nasties. I actually picked mine up from my local Tesco - it contains paste, a sachet of coconut milk and a sachet of herbs. You don't have to buy this of course, you can buy the paste and the coconut milk separately and it will do the same job - just make sure you know what all the ingredients are! If you don't then you probably shouldn't be eating it.

Put the rice on to cook as per the instructions on the packet.

Chop all the vegetable into 1 inch chunks. Heat the coconut oil in a pan and add the garlic and onion. Cook for a couple of minutes and then add the sweet potato. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes until the potato begins to soften. Add the aubergine, courgette and mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Add the green curry paste with a tablespoon of coconut milk - stir for a couple of minutes until all the vegetables are covered with the mixture.

Add the rest of the coconut milk and leave to cook for another 5 minutes. Add any herbs you wish to add (the kit comes with herbs). If you feel the mixture is a little thick gradually add water or vegetable stock until you have achieved the desired consistency.
