Thai Red Chicken Curry

Thai Red Chicken Curry is a simple dish of chicken and vegetables cooked in a red curry sauce with coconut milk, its sweet, savoury, sour, spicy and creamy, its all of the flavours typical of a Thai dish.

This dish inspired by the Thai and/or Asian takeaways here in Auckland where they offer Thai in their different popular sauces that can be served with either seafood, pork, chicken and beef. Most of the meats apart from the seafood are velveted so they just add the sauce on top. This technique makes it faster and flexible for them to sell the dishes based on the customers preference. Today we will be making a similar dish using chicken in Thai Red curry paste, I said similar because it is cooked with the same ingredients but for our version we will be cooling it from scratch, meaning no chicken is prepared beforehand.

It’s such a delicious dish, and like most Thai dishes it comes with the usual taste of sweet, sour, salty and hot on a creamy sauce. The sauce alone is something to die for, it’s so tasty and pleasant all you need is rice and might forget about the chicken, like me I tend to consume a lot of rice just with its sauce. If you are looking for one Thai comfort dish then I suggest you to try this out, it will never let you down.
