Wondering what to serve with Thai Curry? I've got you covered! I've compiled a list of 29+ of the best options to serve with Thai curry that pair perfectly with this flavorful dish. From noodles and rice to salads and desserts, I've got plenty of ideas for you!
With vegetables and protein in a fragrant and creamy sauce, Thai curry is the kind of meal that hugs you from the inside out.
Here is my recipe for chicken yellow Thai curry- which is super flavorful but not spicy. This dump and go recipe is made with a handful of ingredients that can be found at almost any grocery store and is one of our favorite healthy meals. I'm sure you'll love it!
If you're looking for a spicier option, this Thai green curry would be worth a try.
With so many flavor variations, from Massaman to Panang and more, there are a lot of options that are excellent for serving alongside.
I hope this list gives you plenty of inspiration!
Toppings
Take your curry up a level and add some garnishes and toppings. Some tasty options are:
- Fresh herbs such as Green Onions, Cilantro or Thai basil
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Chopped Nuts
- Lime Juice
- Fish Sauce
- Crusty Sourdough Bread
Rice
Perfect for soaking up curry sauce, rice is one of the easiest and best side dishes for many of your favorite Thai recipes. Keep it simple by just making regular white or brown rice or try one of these flavorful options!

Noodles
Noodles also make a great side dish and are a tasty option if you want to serve your curry with something other than rice.
