This Vegan Thai Yellow Curry with crispy chickpeas is the perfect dish for busy weeknights. Comforting, warm and just great for chilly days! It’s made dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan friendly. Plus it’s ready to eat in just 35 minutes!
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST THAI YELLOW CURRY
Use full-fat coconut milk. It adds an amazing creaminess and rich taste.
Add garlic, ginger and green onions to your curry. Those simple ingredients add so much aroma!
Choose a good quality paste. I love this yellow curry paste.
The beauty of making curry is that you can really use any vegetables you have on hand. So feel free to add any veggies that you like!
Make crispy chickpeas!!! That’s my favorite addition to this dish. Instead of cooking the chickpeas in the curry, fry them in avocado oil first, set aside and add at the end!
THAI YELLOW CURRY PASTE
You can totally try to make your own at home. Pinch of yum has a great recipe for a homemade version. But if you’re like me and prefer to have a jar at home, I would highly recommend this brand.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH THAI YELLOW COCONUT CURRY

Hi! I liked this recipe but wanted to clarify – when are you supposed to add the 1TB of curry paste? When you add the chopped vegetables?
