Thai red curry

Description:

                 I had previously shared the recipe for Thai green curry. Here goes the recipe for Thai red curry.

Ingredients:

1. Chicken/Prawns - 500gm(Prawns are preferable used in red curry)
2. Thai basil
3. Ginger and garlic
4. Frozen vegetables
5. Carrots
6. Onion - 1
7. Lime juice - 1tsbp
8. Coconut milk
9. Red curry paste - 3tsbp
10. Salt to taste

Procedure:
               Prawns are preferable for red curry but didn`t had prawns at home so decided to try   with chicken and it came out good. Clean the chicken and keep aside. Cut the carrots into cubes and Onions into thin slices. Crush the ginger and the garlic. Clean the Basil leaves and keep aside.  Take a skillet, and add oil. Next add the crushed ginger and garlic, then goes in  the onions. Saute the Onions . Next add the carrots and frozen vegetables. Cook all the vegetables on a medium flame. Add the red curry paste and mix well. Now time for chicken to go in. Close the lid  and let the chicken cook for almost 10 minutes and slowly add the coconut milk and simmer the flame.  Cook till the chicken becomes tender. Last ingredient to add is the Thai basil and lime juice. Thai basil gives a good aroma and different taste to the dish.  Thai red Chicken curry is ready to be served with rice etc. Enjoy!
