Green Coconut Curry

Green Coconut Curry

Green Coconut Curry with fresh lemongrass makes for a hearty but not-to-heavy meal. This Green Coconut Curry is perfect all year round. For a creamier curry, we recommend substituting the vegetable broth for a second can of lite coconut milk. And we recommend trying this curry with steamed mussels.
