Instructions
 

Prepare the Curry Paste

  • Combine all the curry paste ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until a smooth paste forms. Add a little water if needed to help blend.

Stir-fry the Vegetables

  • Heat the oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp. Remove the vegetables and set aside.

Cook the Curry

  • Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the prepared curry paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir constantly to prevent burning.

Simmer and Finish

  • Pour in the coconut milk and water. Add the soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, then add the stir-fried vegetables. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 6-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Serve

  • Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Thai Red Curry

  • Toast the spices: For a deeper flavor, lightly toast the whole spices (coriander, cumin, pepper) in a dry pan before grinding them into a powder.
  • Adjust the spice level: Control the heat by adjusting the number of chilies in the curry paste. For a milder curry, use fewer chilies or remove some of the seeds.
  • Use quality coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk is essential for the creamy texture and rich flavor. Avoid low-fat varieties.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can become mushy. Aim for a slight crisp-tender texture.
