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.

Ingredients
  • 400 g chicken thighs (substitute with veggies if you are veg)
  • 400 mg coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (don't add if you are veg)
  • 7 Lf kaffir lime leaves
  • 2 tbsp yellow/red/green Thai curry paste
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions

  2. 2

    After 5-10 minutes add the coconut milk and simmer everything for 5 minutes. Add the kaffir lime leaves and the fish sauce. Boil for 2 more minutes and serve hot with jasmine rice.
