My first experience with THAI FOOD was about 15 years back!
Let me tell you, our very first experience with Thai Cuisine was just mind blowing and the flavours stayed with us for a very long time.
Thai Red Curry recipe has a very special place in my life. More than a decade ago, when we first visited Switzerland, as we were returning from Jungfraujoch, we were absolutely famished. We landed up into a Thai restaurant in Interlaken , not knowing what to order. They suggested us to order Thai Red Curry Vegetarian and Thai Green Curry with Steaming Jasmine Rice. We instantly fell in love with the vegetarian Thai curries!
Since then Thai Food has been a regular affair in our household.
Thai Curry as such, has got a distant resemblance to SouthIndian Palakkad Cuisine recipe where there is ample use of Coconut in curries. May be that is why we love Thai Cuisine all the more!!
Ask my better half what would he like { something special } and he would say Thai Vegetable Red Curry! Yes even today, we love Thai Cuisine and thoroughly enjoy the authentic flavours of coconut dispersing through authentic red curry.
Just forget ordering the takeaway and make this flavour bursting easy Thai Red Curry at home effortlessly.
