WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR VEGAN THAI RED CURRY?

To prepare Thai Red Curry in Instant Pot, we require minimal ingredients as the thai curry paste itself has got lots of complex flavours. Since we are using store bought thai curry paste for this recipe, we like to spruce up the curry with a little bit of all the ingredients. Some ginger garlic, onions, soy sauce to add some richness and rice vinegar & lime juice for lots of extra freshness.

THAI RED CURRY PASTE – The essence to a good Thai Curry recipe is the Thai Curry Paste. We are lucky to find Vegan Thai Red Curry Paste locally in Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s and they are wonderful! Don’t forget to check the label for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free.

Coconut Milk – Use thick coconut milk for this recipe and there is no substitution really! I have tried using Maggie Coconut Powder that can be diluted with water to make coconut milk for this recipe. I find them really thin in consistency. Using thin coconut milk just dilutes the flavours.

I do recommend using Coconut milk out of the can – this is usually thick and of the right proportion.

Coconut Oil

Ginger & Garlic  – Use freshly minced ginger and garlic or store bought paste – either of them works.

Choice of vegetables is completely up to you. About 2.5 Cups!! I have put together vegetables that were stocked in my refrigerator and they were a perfect marriage. Also the other way to choose the vegetables will be a mix of crunch and soft textures.  I have used carrots, baby corn , mangeout, zucchini and red pepper.

Soy Sauce or Tamari Sauce 

Siracha Sauce or any hot sauce to add a bit of heat to the curry

Brown Sugar 

Rice Vinegar

Thai Basil  works best to render flavours to the curry. When I started out to make Thai Curry, I used to use the regular basil leaves and the flavours were quite different.

Coriander leaves

Lime Juice to bring out the freshness

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Thai Curry tastes best when served with Jasmine Rice. There is something magical about this combination that the rice just enhances the flavour of the curry!  However, there is no hard and fast rule – You can always serve with Basmati rice , Coconut Rice and Long grain rice. Thai Purist – please don’t judge me here 😉

THIS THAI RED CURRY IS

an ideal fridge clear out meal

vegan, vegetarian and gluten free

Recipe Notes

If you find the Thai Curry too thick, add 1/4- 1/2  cup of water and allow the curry to boil again.

To make  Instant Pot Thai Red Curry with Chicken - the method is the same. Add the chicken when you add Thai Red Curry and coat it well.  Add the remaining ingredients. PRESSURE COOK FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. 

Rest of the steps are the  same.
