Our leaves are starting to change up north, and with our lows are dipping down into the 30s, I’ve been reaching for warmer, cozier meals the last few days. This One Pot Yellow Curry is a family favorite! Not only is it filling and delicious, it is quick and easy to customize.
My favorite cuisine has been Thai for almost as far back as I can remember. And as much as I love noodles, a warm, creamy, filling curry has always been my dish of choice. Since we don’t have many authentic Thai restaurants nearby (and rarely eat out, as it is!), I wanted to create something that would satisfy my craving.
I used to use the pre-made curry paste, but it is pricey, and once it’s gone, it’s gone… (surprising, I know.) This one pot yellow curry uses ingredients that you most likely already have in your kitchen, and is even yummier than the store-bought version (in my humble opinion)! Plus, it really does only require ONE POT. That is a major win in my kitchen!
You can easily change up the veggies in this curry to use what you have on hand. And if you are in a hurry, skip the potatoes to decrease the cook time. OR, simply cook them ahead of time – I LOVE using my Instant Pot for this step!**
This meal is so comforting and filling, and is delicious served over rice. I hope you will try it! If you do, don’t forget to come back and rate the recipe!

- 1 medium head broccoli, cut into bite-size florettes
