Ingredients

Chicken – The protein in this dish is Chicken. Wash and clean the boneless chicken and then cut into small pieces to add in the curry.

Vegetables – Along with the chicken, we will also add some vegetables such as Bell Pepper, Broccoli, but you can go ahead and add more vegetables of your choice.

Thai Red Curry Paste – You can either make Thai Red Curry paste at home and store for everyday use. If you are short on time, you can even use the store-bought red curry paste. I like the homemade version as it is fresh and free of preservatives.

Coconut Milk – Use the thin coconut milk for this curry. Again, you can make it at home or use the store-bought one. If the store-bought one is too thick, you can add water to thin it out.

Fish Sauce – When it comes to sauce, we will use fish sauce. But if you are looking for a vegan option, you can use soy sauce instead.

Oil – You can use any vegetable oil or even olive oil to make this delicious curry.

Chicken Stock – Chicken Stock adds an extra flavor, but if you do not have it, you can even use vegetable stock or water instead.

Basil – Add in a handful of Thai Basil to add an authentic taste. If you cannot find Thai Basil, you can even use Italian Basil instead.

Other Ingredients – Apart from these ingredients, you will need ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, cilantro, red chili, and tamarind paste. These ingredients combined add a spicy, tangy, and sweet taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage Suggestions

This Thai Curry tastes the best when served fresh. But if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for about 2-3 days in an air tight container.

I will not suggest you to freeze the same, as it has coconut milk. While thawing, the coconut milk tend to split, which will alter the texture of the curry and won’t taste good.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve Red Thai Curry along with Jasmine Rice, which also adds a flavor of its own.

You can also serve it along with Sticky Rice, Steamed White Rice or Brown Rice. For a healthy alternative, you can also serve it with Quinoa and Couscous.
