Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For a creamier texture and added richness, stir in a splash of coconut milk during the last few minutes of simmering—this complements the Thai flavors and balances the heat.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the fish with hearty vegetables like eggplant or tofu, and omit the eggs; lightly fry the tofu cubes in chickpea flour for extra texture before adding to the curry.
  • To deepen the tangy notes, squeeze in some fresh lime juice just before serving and garnish with chopped cilantro or Thai basil for a burst of color and freshness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days—the flavors will continue to develop and meld, making the curry even more flavorful when reheated.
