💭 Why You'll Love This Recipe
Seasonal produce: This recipe is a great way to enjoy the summer produce season.
Immune boosting: With all of the fresh, healthy ingredients, you can bump up your gut health along with gluten-free chicken soup.
Busy night meal: Though it seems like there are a lot of ingredients, it really does come together quite easily and is on the table in just 30 minutes.
Flavor: It's mildly sweet and not spicy. The coconut milk makes it taste really rich, and kids love it.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Peaches: Fresh, juicy summer peaches work best, but if you're an avid canner, canned peaches work just as well! Try not to use canned peaches in syrup, though, as it's a bit too sweet.
- Soy sauce: Double-check your soy sauce is gluten-free as many are not. If in doubt, use coconut aminos, which is a paleo option.
- Full-fat coconut milk: This is what makes the curry sauce rich and creamy. Opt for the full-fat version from the can for the best flavor, which is what you need for Thai green chicken curry, too.
- Bone broth: I like to use bone broth powder to keep it simple (total busy mom hack!), but any homemade bone broth works. If you need the peach coconut curry to be vegan, use a vegetable-based broth.
- Turmeric: A powerhouse of an ingredient used in cough and cold remedies like fire cider during the cooler months. This chicken madras curry is also great for cold weather comfort just like this aloo gobi recipe! Learn the benefits of turmeric and try to use a high-quality powder.

Flavor Variations
Vegetables: Bell peppers, green beans, and button mushrooms can easily be substituted for asparagus, cauliflower, and whatever else you can come up with.
Seasonings: Try swapping for a green curry paste like in this Thai pineapple chicken curry with coconut milk. Or, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra spice.
Protein: This curry recipe is amazing for a Meatless Monday dish (as is this Aloo Palak Recipe, or Bhuna curry), but I prefer mine with a bit more protein. Add leftover Dutch oven whole chicken, or air fryer steak bites to the dish for a high-protein dinner.
How To Make Sweet Peach Curry
Step 1: Sauté the onion and garlic in oil over medium to high heat.
Step 2: Once the onions are clear, add in the remaining vegetables and peaches. Cook until soft.
Step 3: Pour in the coconut milk, broth, and remaining sauces and seasonings. Stir well and cook for until boiling.
Step 4: Let it simmer for 10 minutes, then serve.
Expert Tips
Adjust the amount of red curry paste based on personal preference. Add only a tiny bit at the start and then add more if needed once it's simmered.
This peach curry isn't spicy (neither is rose Tteokbokki or curry meatballs overly). If you want more spice, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
A high-quality broth goes a long way in making this mild curry healthy. I use Perfect Supplements Bone Broth Powder because it's made from free-range chickens with zero fillers, and it whips up in just 2 minutes. Use code mamabear10 if you try it to save some money.
Store leftover curry once cooled in a glass container in the fridge for 3-4 days (separate from the rice if possible). Reheat it over low heat on the stove and add a splash of broth to get it going again.
How To Serve It
Enjoy the curry with coconut milk over steamed rice, mixed with buckwheat noodles (my kids love this), like this soba noodle bowl. Or let it boil down and serve it with gluten-free naan bread.
Peach Curry FAQs
Coconut milk is used to help make curry creamy and hearty. It does not curdle in the curry but blends into it and creates a better sauce. Make sure to use the canned version, though as the carton has ingredients to keep it liquid. You really want to use the thick part of the can or the “cream” for maximum flavor.
If you don’t have coconut milk on hand, you can try using coconut milk powder. This will help keep the texture of the curry.
Yes, fresh, canned, or frozen peaches can work to make a sweet peach curry. if using frozen peaches, know that you'll have to cook your curry longer at a simmer to help some of the extra liquid burn off. For canned peaches, do not use ones soaked in syrup and drain any extra water they're stored in before you add them.

I love curries, but I don't like peaches. Is there anothe fruit you would recommend?
fitasamamabear says
Plums, mangos or nectarines I think would work perfectly! They'd still be sweet and would work well with the curry flavors 🙂
