Thai Red Curry

Thai red curry, often referred to as gaeng phed, is a curry in which red curry paste and coconut milk together form the base. The sauce is creamy, aromatic and spicy, with a distinct savory and slightly sweet balance. The spiciness depends heavily on the curry paste used.

In this version, chicken thigh fillet is used. The meat remains juicy while simmering in the coconut milk. Bamboo shoots give the curry an extra bite and the kaffir lime leaves provide a fresh citrus aroma that complements the red curry paste well.

Fish sauce and palm sugar are used to further balance the curry. Fish sauce provides saltiness and umami, while palm sugar rounds off the spicy and salty notes. Thai basil is added to the curry only at the end, so that its fresh, anise-like aroma is preserved.
