Traditionally Thai green curry recipe is a spicy, hot green nonvegetarian curry from Thailand.  But here I have made the same curry with vegetables and tofu.

I always make the green curry paste at home as the store-bought paste has a lot of preservatives in it. You get the best results when you use Thai ingredients. But if it is not available you can very well substitute it with available local ingredients.

I have listed below the ingredients used in the traditional Thai green curry and its replacement for your convenience. The taste of the curry may slightly differ when prepared with substitutes but it yet tastes awesome.
