THAI YELLOW CURRY

Thai Yellow Curry – delicious and easy yellow curry with vegetables / chicken / prawns / Tofu. I have tried with all these options and i just love it.  So i am uploading all varieties of Thai yellow curry today. 

If you are a Thai food lover, I am sure you love the different types of Thai curries, named after the color of the curry: red, yellow and green. One of my favorite Thai curries is yellow curry- mild spicy, aromatic curry simmered in coconut milk with yellow curry paste, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, baby corns, and onions served with steam rice.

The primary spices in kaeng kari / Yellow curry are Turmeric, lemon grass, garlic, shallots, galangal, dried red chillies, coriander seeds, kaffir lime peel, cumin, cinnamon, mace and cardamom. A touch of palm sugar enhances the flavor of this creamy coconut milk based curry.
