Thai Red Curry Recipe

Posted On March 2, 2019

Thai red curry traditionally known as Kaeng Phet. The main ingredient that is different from Thai Green Curry is dried red chilies, which gives red color and spiciness to the curry. Otherwise, all rest ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal, kafir leaves, shallots, etc are the same as green curry. It is spicy, delicious and obviously healthy due to nutrition-packed ingredients such as coconut milk and lots of vegetables.
