Tips to remember when making Thai curry:

• Use aromatics, like onion, ginger, and garlic to make delicious curries, since a deep flavor is imparted.
• Coconut milk is the basis of Thai curries. Choose full-fat or organic coconut milk.
• If you are looking for a variation in your recipe, change the vegetables. You can try broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, diced butternut, sweet potato, sliced zucchini, and even yellow squash.
• This special Thai curry recipe will be a real treat for all the vegetarian lovers out there. Make sure that the vegetables being used are uniformly cut into small pieces.

Thai red curry paste:

Thai red curry paste adds a characteristic Thai flavor to the curry. You can either use homemade or store-bought red curry paste.

Homemade Thai red curry paste is quite easy to make. Give your chicken, shrimp or mussels a Thai taste and get ready to be blown away by its unique and rich flavors.

However, if you are looking for a curry sauce, just add 1 can of coconut milk and process in a food processor for uniform consistency.

Storage of Thai red curry paste:

Ready-made or store-bought red curry paste can be stored in the refrigerator. However, once it is opened, you can use it for up to six weeks.

Curry paste can be easily frozen by placing 2-3 tablespoons into plastic ice-cube trays. When cubes are firm, remove them from the tray and wrap tightly in a plastic wrap.

Frozen curry paste can be stored for up to three months.
