Description: This Red Thai curry made such a delicious meal last night. It’s flavourful, warm, spicy, comforting and full of vegetables so it doesn’t feel too indulgent even though it is a bit rich due to coconut milk. I have used carrots, mushrooms, baby corn and snap peas but feel free to change the vegetables as per your choice. The most important ingredient is the Thai red curry paste which can be prepared at home but it is a cumbersome process as there are a lot of ingredients involved. It will surely taste better than store bought paste however due to time constraints, I have used “Thai taste” red curry paste, which is readily available at most supermarkets. This curry makes for an easy dinner idea as it can be put together in half an hour, just what you need for working day dinner ideas. Enjoy the delicious curry with Jasmine rice or Pad Thai!
