Thai Red Curry With Jasmine Rice

Thai Red Curry With Jasmine Rice is a popular dish of Thai cuisine made by simmering fresh vegetables and tofu in coconut milk with a fiery Thai red curry paste. It is served with steamed jasmine rice or noodles for a complete meal. It is Vegan and Glutenfree.

The beauty of Thai food is that it uses a lot of fresh vegetables and can be made quickly. It is flavored with fresh ingredients such as red chili, soy sauce, lemon grass stalk, ginger, garlic and kaffir lime leaves. Chop the veggies and keep them ready to stir.

For Thai red curry, you need to make a Thai red curry paste. This paste is readily available in the supermarkets. But I prefer it to make the paste at home as it is very easy to make and all the ingredients are readily available. Also it will be preservative free. The paste can be made in big batch and can be refrigerated for a month or can be freezed upto 3 months. Use the paste to make Thai red curry, Thai fried rice or noodles. For nice bright red curry, I prefer using dry kashmiri chili. The Thai red curry is hot. However the spice level can be adjusted as per your need. At my home we prefer eating less spicy food and hence I have added only 3 red chili. However you can add upto 10 chili to make the paste. The flavor of the curry is enhanced with lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves. I have used dry lemon grass stalks which I got from my father’s farm. You can use the fresh lemon grass stalk. I have used fresh kaffir lime leaves which I got from my friend’s (Ros) garden. However you can use the dehydrated kaffir lime leaves that are available in supermarket.  Generally galangal (similar to ginger) is used widely in Thai cuisine. However, if you do not have it you can just use the normal  ginger.

I keep the Thai red curry paste and chopped vegetables ready. I will make curry 30 minutes prior before serving as Thai food tastes best when served straight from the pot. While the curry is simmering, you can cook the Jasmine rice to serve along with it. I have also shared the method of preparing Jasmine Rice.

To make Thai red curry here is summary of steps:

1. Make Thai red curry paste

2. Saute the chopped vegetables

3. Saute the Thai red curry paste, add coconut milk and vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes to make Thai red curry.

 

Jasmine rice s a long-grain variety of fragrant rice. It is grown particularly in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It is quick to cook and is little sticky after cooking. If you do not have Jasmine rice, do not worry , you can use the regular rice or basmati rice. You need not soak the rice for a long time before cooking. Wash and soak for about 5 minutes and then drain the water. It is good to use a broad pan to make rice. For one cup of rice use 1.5 cups of water. If you use more water the rice will become more soft and mushy. First add drained rice and water in a pan. Let the water come to boil. Once the water comes to boil, lower the heat and cover the vessel with lid and simmer the rice for 15 minutes or till all the water is absorbed. After 15 minutes the rice is ready.
