Thai Curry


Thai Curry Great Food Recipe-

Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 tablespoon red curry paste (I used Mae Ploy red curry paste)
* 6 oz. tiger prawns (or shrimps)
* 6 oz. big scallops
* 1 kaffir lime leave (cut into fine thin strips)
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 2 teaspoons palm sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
* 80 ml. coconut milk
* 1/4 cup water
* 1/2 onion (sliced) (optional)
* 5 bird’s eye chilies (optional)


Method:
  • Heat up a small pot with cooking oil.
  • Saute the red curry paste until aromatic.
  • Add sliced onions and bird’s eye chilies.  (These are optional ingredients hence this step is optional if you don’t use them.)
  • Add coconut milk, water, kaffir lime leaves, and bring the curry to boil.
  • Add the scallops and prawns into the pot and boil for 1-2 minutes or until the prawns and scallop are cooked. (Make sure not to overcook them).
  • Add fish sauce, palm sugar, and stir-continuously for 1o seconds or so, dish out and serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice.

Cook’s Notes:
  • You can use equal portion of chicken to make chicken curry.
  • You can also add some other seafood such as calamari and mussels to make seafood curry.
  • You can combine both chicken and seafood, for example: this red curry recipe.
  • You can also add some vegetables to the curry, for example: long beans, sliced zucchini, and/or carrots.
  • You can make a vegetarian version using tofu.
