Thai Yellow Curry

I love all kinds of Thai curries, for example yellow curry. Imagine rich coconut curry with chicken and all sorts of vegetables, in a curry sauce, it’s delicious.

Making traditional and authentic curry is easier than you thought. Once you master the basic skills in making Thai curries, you can make just about any curry like.

Yellow Curry Paste

While you can make the curry paste from scratch, I always buy canned yellow curry paste, for example: Mae Ploy brand. The instant curry paste is pretty good and authentic; making curry is so easy with the curry paste.

You can find them easily at Asian stores and some regular food stores do have them in the ethnic food section. You can also buy it online at Amazon.
