Thai Red Curry
Serves: Around 3-4 persons
Red thai curry is incredibly delicious recipe to make at home. Loads of vegetables and tofu simmered in a coconut milk gravy served with plain white / brown rice. The preparation time is also less and the cooking time is fast too. This is one of my favourite one pot meal.

Method:

- Add cut vegetables and saute well.
- Add red chili paste to the pan and fry for a while.
- Add salt and pepper to the taste.
- Empty the coconut milk in to the vegetables. Add ½ cup water to the vegetables.

Note:
- you can use any vegetables of your choice. You can add handful of spinach or kale to the curry.
- Traditionally fish sauceis used in the recipe. Since i prefer vegan version,I used soy sauce.
- I used light coconut milk. You can reduce or add the quantity of water according to your choice.
- I like to use uncooked tofu in the curry.
