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.

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 can coconut milk (around 2 cups)
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoon thai red chili paste (store brought)
  • Water

  1. Heat oil in a pan and add sliced onion. Saute for a minute and add minced ginger-garlic.
  2. Add cut vegetables and saute well.
  3. Add red chili paste to the pan and fry for a while.
  4. Add salt and pepper to the taste.
  5. 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.
