The red creamy curry cooked with lots of vegetables, mildly spicy and hot, is perfect for any day. If you are a lover of Thai food, I am sure you will like this Red Curry. If you get a chance then prefer making curry paste at home otherwise, get a good brand of curry paste from the store.

I really feel Thai curries are the best to include all the vegetables in your diet. Feel free to use vegetables of your choice or whatever you need to use up to clean your fridge. 😀 Add your choice of meat to the curry and if you are a vegetarian the replace the meat with tofu and enjoy the flavorful meal.
