Thai Red Chicken Curry
I love cooking Thai food firstly because the recipes are easy and the outcome is awesomely fragrant and secondly everyone in the family loves Thai food. This dish is a one pan dish that takes about 30 minutes to make. The main ingredients are the red curry paste which you can make from scratch or buy ready made from an Asian store and full fat coconut milk to form the base. I used the ready made paste in my curry. Once you make this delicious curry at home you may never need to go and have it in a restaurant.Give it a try!
