Curry in a hurry... This easy recipe uses pantry staples and demystifies Thai curry. It's so much easier than you think! |
1. Buy your favorite curry paste. I purchased mine at my friendly Asian supermarket, but these days, you can find curry paste at ethnic markets, gourmet shops and just about everyplace in between. Don't forget to read the ingredients, because some pastes contain shrimp paste.
2. Heat some oil in a casserole over medium-low. When it's warm, add curry paste to taste [A few tablespoons to start], then toss in chopped onions, garlic, and ginger, if you like [Although some curry pastes already contain more than enough ginger]. Saute until the veggies are transparent and the paste is well integrated into the oil.
3. Whisk in a can of coconut milk. [Light is fine if you're fat-conscious]. Stir well to blend in the paste. My Penang curry paste tinted the broth a glowy ochre.

looks very soothing and warm! I love curry! It is one of my fav. comfort foods.
I always wind up using the whole jar of paste to get it super flavorful. I feel like that's against the rules but I can't help myself!
Also, I add a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce...and lots of sambal olek to spice things up!
I make a very similar Thai curry . . . I do add some soy sauce and sugar to mine, but otherwise, rely on the curry paste. What a wonderful food, huh?
Yum! My favorite flavors.. and so simple.
That's the paste I buy :) I wish more grocery stores carried the panang variety instead of just red and green. I don't like red or green curry.
thai curry is so yummy. and easy, as you illustrate. mmmm.

I thought curry involves a lot of work. Thank you for sharing these easy steps. I hope you can also do some recipes for gas barbecues. Sales in town are driving me nuts. I'm into grilling that I bought so many barbeque accessories. To make use of this, I hope you can share to me some of your recipes. Thanks!
