Today I’m sharing a family favorite of ours… Vegetarian Red Curry! This is one of those one pot, 30 minute meals that are so easy to make for lunch or dinner! I love to make this recipe in the fall and winter, because it’s a super cozy meal, and it the ultimate comfort food packed with lots and lots of Thai flavors!

Curry Paste

You can be ambitious and make your own curry paste if you like, but it cuts down so many steps if you buy the ready made paste… which is what I tend to do! In my opinion, the brand “Maesri” is the best. You can find it at any local Asian grocery store, or even on amazon. I like these little pods a lot because they are the perfect size for this recipe, and they taste super authentic. You can even try their other curries, such as green or even yellow sour curry! 

My Favorite Vegetables for Curry

You can essentially add anything you want in your curries. I love to add garlic, ginger, and thai chili’s as the base. This sets the tone for your whole dish, which is why I tend to add EXTRA! Other than that, I love to add onion, assorted bell peppers, broccolini, spinach, thai basil leaves, and scallions! Other options to add are mushrooms, green beans, and even bean sprouts! If you eat meat and want to make this a main dish, feel free to add any source of protein or tofu.

Thai Food Favorites

It’s no doubt that I love Thai food, and if you are obsessed like I am, you must check out some of my other recipes! One of the reasons why I love making Thai food is that most of my recipes are 30 minutes or less, and a lot of them have interchangeable ingredients.
