Thai Red Curry with Chicken and a few selected Vegetables is a perfect choice for any day. An occasion or a family reunion or even a special party would definitely be a perfect one if this dish would take a front seat. This Curry would be a great option for main course or a super delicious side as well alongside a host of other dishes.
This is a stunning dish that needs no introduction. A must have for mealtimes too. It would be an instant hit with Jasmine Rice and Lunch would be the most perfect with some Thai cuisine for a special Weekend with your loved ones besides you.

I usually inculcate different Vegetables each time I make this for my family. Bamboo shoots are also a lovely addition to the list of Vegetables including Broccoli, Baby Corn, Brussel Sprouts, Zucchini etc. Do give it a try and homemade Red paste is absolutely refreshing and flavourful. I strongly recommend that. And it's very simple and easy to whip it up. That's all. I guess it's all said and done. Let's begin with the actual
recipe straight away.

1

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Combine all the ingredients as mentioned and set aside until use.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan or a wok. Add chicken and stir fry until it is cooked and almost browned. Turn off the heat and set it aside.
3

Add the rest of the oil to the pan. Fry ginger and garlic until fragrant on a low heat. Now add the red paste and let it cook for a minute on a medium high heat. Stir in the brown sugar.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
