Vegetables in Thai Red Curry


One of the great benefits of globalization for foodies like me is the availability of fruits, vegetables, spices, and condiments from across the world. I am slowly learning to make use of this advantage to try out a variety of international cuisines. In the forefront of my culinary adventures is Thai food. I absolutely love Thai food and ever since I discovered it as an alternative to Indo-Chinese, I must admit that I am rather partial to Thai food.

I have already written about Vegetables in Thai Green Curry Sauce. In that recipe, I had used ginger as a substitute for Galangal and regular lemon juice instead of juice from kaffir limes. This time around, I made the effort to source all the original ingredients and subtle differences in flavour were very evident. I am glad I made the effort. 🙂

  • Be careful about how many bird’s eye chillies you use as they are very, very spicy.

    Aruna, looking at this entry at VVLP, I had the feeling that the picture looks so much like it could be yours, and I was right, it led me to Aaharam! Beautiful, and so authentic too, it is mind-blowing. Hats off to you, Aruna! You are not only proficient in all types of Indian cuisines but Asian and others too.

      Thank you for the profuse praise, Apsara. However, I am just a learner. This time around i was so thrilled that i got the original spices to replicate the taste.

      I learn so much from all of you all the time.
