This vibrant spiced cucumber and coconut milk dish offers a refreshing twist on plant-based cooking. While cucumbers are often reserved for salads, gentle sautéing transforms them into a succulent, tender vegetable that carries aromatic flavours beautifully. The combination of creamy coconut milk, zingy lime and the subtle heat of Thai chillies creates a light yet deeply satisfying sauce that feels both indulgent and nourishing.
As a quick vegan curry, this recipe is perfect for a midweek supper when you want something fresh and homemade without spending hours in the kitchen. The addition of fresh tomatoes and spring onions provides layers of texture and colour, making it a feast for the senses. Serve it simply with steamed jasmine rice or warm flatbreads for a balanced, healthy meal that celebrates simple, seasonal ingredients.
