No need for Thai take out this weekend- make this easy, delicious, and flavourful Thai veg curry at home. Today I am going to share a recipe which is quite easy and flexible. I have made my yellow curry paste from scratch and used it in this curry. If you have this curry paste on hand, the making of this curry is a breeze on busy days.
Thai Yellow Curry is very close to Indian curries in taste because it uses lots of Indian spices in it. I find this to be a very warm and comforting meal at any time of the day.
Does Thai Yellow Curry Look Yellow in Colour?
No, it's absolutely not necessary, though it may look yellow. If it looks yellow, then that's wonderful, but if not, don't use more than the required amount of turmeric in the curry. Turmeric has a very strong taste and an excess of it can make your curry taste bitter.
What Type of Vegetables Do We Need for Thai Yellow Curry?
You can use any vegetable of your choice but the vegetables we use mostly in making Indian curries go well with this curry. A few examples are cauliflower, carrots, peas, colored peppers, and potato.
How to Make Thai Yellow Curry Paste?
The making of Thai Yellow Curry is quite easy and it takes just 30 minutes of your time. Most of the ingredients are easily available or easily replaceable.
