Vegan Thai Red Curry

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.

What is Thai Red Curry?

 Red Thai Curry is popular Thai curry dish where red curry paste is cooked in coconut milk along with vegetables or vegetable protein source like Tofu or along with meat. In other words, I also call this curry a fridge clear out meal. You could literally tip in all sorts of vegetables in this veggie thai red curry along with the curry paste, coconut milk and herbs.

Let me tell you, its just too good to miss it!

Vegan Thai Red Curry Ingredients

What if I tell you, there are not many ingredients needed to actually make this Curry. You only need a handful of the staples to create a tasty thai red curry.  As the red curry paste ingredients already has a lot of complex interesting flavours, all I have to add are a handful of ingredients to pimp up. Some ginger garlic, onions, soy sauce to add some richness, rice vinegar & lime juice for a lot of extra freshness.

Thai Curry Paste – Use homemade red curry paste recipe  or use store bought vegetarian red curry paste. Check the label for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free! Luckily, we have this version of thai red curry paste available easily in our grocery store.

Coconut Milk  is absolutely essential in this recipe and there is no substitution really!

Coconut Oil

Ginger Garlic 

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.

Soy Sauce or Tamari Sauce 

Sugar 

Rice Vinegar

Thai Basil 

Coriander leaves

Lime Juice to bring out the freshness.
