Super Simple Yellow Thai Curry
Description
- Name one dish which is ready in 15 minutes, it's super flavorful and exotic, requires few ingredients and it's SOOO easy to prepare that you cannot fail!
- If you don't know one, I'll name one: Thai curry! This is my absolute favorite Thai dish and I would never get enough of it. Based on 5 key ingredients, it provides so much flavor and pleasure with every single bite!
- What do you need for a perfect Thai curry?
- Thai curry paste - find it in Asian stores or why not, do it on your own!
The main ingredients which make a Thai curry paste are: lemongrass, shallots, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, galangal and shrimp paste. There are 3 types of Thai curry pastes: yellow (less spicy - it has turmeric), green (spicy - contains green chilli) and red (spicy - contains red chilli). - Good quality coconut milk
- Chicken, beef, even vegetables if you are vegetarian. There is also Thai curry paste without shrimp paste, just check the ingredients on the label.
- Good quality fish sauce - it gives that umami taste. Remove if vegetarian.
- Kaffir lime leaves - they give such a fresh and zingy tone to the dish. I love them!
Serve with lime juice.
