30 Minutes Vegan Thai Red Curry

Anyone up for the gorgeous V-E-G-A-N Thai Red Curry ??

Thai Red Curry has a very special place in my life. It is a cuisine that does not comes naturally. But a cuisine that is adapted. More than a decade ago, when we first visited Switzerland, as we were returning from Jungfraujoch, we were famished. We wanted to hog on something asap and  we landed up into a Thai restaurant in Interlaken.
We were missing home and actually wanted to dine something comforting.. Not knowing what to expect, we ordered Thai Red Curry and Thai Green Curry with Steaming Jasmine Rice.

Let me tell you, it was lip smacking and the flavors stayed with us for a very long time. Thai Curry has got a distant resemblance to SouthIndian Palakkad Cuisine where there is use of Coconut mixture in a lot of 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 Red Curry! Yes even today, we love Thai Cuisine and thoroughly enjoy the authentic flavors of coconut dispersing through red curry ..

Just forget ordering your takeaway and make this flavor bursting Thai Red Curry at home effortlessly.

Over the last few years, I have learnt with trial and error and put together my perfect 30 Minutes Vegan Thai Red Curry.  Walk into your normal grocery store and you will find all the needed ingredients easily.  Yes, there is no substitute to Coconut milk in this recipe. So please do not try to alter the recipe without using it .. Essence of this curry is Thai Red Curry Paste – either store bought or make one yourself.. & Coconut milk .

Choice of vegetables is completely up to you.. I have put together vegetables that were stocked in my refrigerator and they were a perfect marriage.
