Cilantro Coconut Curry Sauce ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #easy #thai #curry #sauce #recipe

A delicious Thai-style curry sauce with a sweet coconut base, Sriracha, ginger, cilantro, lime, Thai red curry paste and jalapeno. It’s a new twist on that amazing Thai peanut sauce I love so much.


I used this sauce for my Watermelon Coconut Curry. The sauce is sooooo scrumptious and so simple to make, I think it deserves a post of its own. It’s wonderful stirred up with veggies like watermelon rind and potatoes, but you could also use it for chicken, fish, or pork, or as a salad dressing or dip for veggies or chips or fritters.

I actually referenced your version of our other favorite Thai sauce recipe while I was making this, Ann. It’s yummilicious, to borrow a term from Becca 🙂

Looks lovely and want to try this one….except living in Australia I have no idea what Sriracha sauce is? Is it similar to TABASCO sauce (thin red Chilli sauce) which is made in USA…??? Thank you for your help, and all your lovely recipes and photos! Look forward to your email posts everyday.

I’m sorry, Vicki! Sriracha is an Asian hot sauce that is very flavorful–it’s much tastier than Tobasco. Perhaps you can buy it online? It’s really wonderful and kind of addictive. If you can’t or don’t want to buy it online, you can skip the Sriracha or substitute your favorite hot sauce. Here’s a link to it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Huy-Fong-Sriracha-Chili-Sauce/dp/B0014CSG5Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407930313&sr=8-1&keywords=sriracha

Thanks so much for your kind comments! You totally made my day. 🙂

Thank you very much for the info. Ann, and link. I will check out our local Asian Grocery store first, as they seem to have an unending supply of sauces I have never heard of! Looking forward to trying this recipe, and think I will try it with some prawns. Thanks again,
Cheers from Down Under,

I think prawns would be perfect with this sauce! Good luck finding the Sriracha, Vicki.
