Thai Red Curry
I am moving back to Thai today. I am making the most popular thai dish. Love thai food so much. They are spicy and coconut which I always love. I am planning to post many thai dishes soon. I live in a place where I cannot find galangal and lemon grass.
know those are important in thai cooking. But I always want to try this dish, so I bravely made this dish without those two. It still came out great. The red curry I made was really good. You could make double the batch and freeze it. So you can use it whenever you want. I served this dish with roti. But this goes well with rice. Please try this dish and let me know what you think.
