The BEST red curry recipe ever. As requested!


This is such a delicious recipe - you have to try it tonight!


Pumpkin & Veggie Thai Curry with Rice



(This is a good one if you are cooking for the family – you can cook chicken separate and add it to the others dishes at the end)
2 cups brown rice, cooked
Red Curry paste (it should just be herbs and spices with nothing else added – read the label, no sugar or anything else added)
1 onion diced
1 piece of crushed garlic
½ butternut pumpkin diced into 2cm cubes
2 potatoes diced
1 red capsicum
1 bunch spinach or similar
1 can coconut milk (full cream, don’t do low fat its REALLY bad for you)
4 dates chopped
Method:
Use 2tbs of curry paste and fry with oil in a pan until fragrant.
Add garlic and onion and stir.
Add pumpkin & potato, dates, coconut milk and if necessary a small amount of water to create enough liquid. Allow to cook until pumpkin becomes soft.
Add capsicum & cook for a further 3-4 minutes before adding spinach.
Season with Salt and pepper, serve with brown rice.

  2. What is the issue with full cream coconut milk? Does it contain something to be wary of?

  3. Amanda, sorry perhaps I made it slightly confusing. I mean only use coconut cream. Low fat variations are usually filled up with empty fillers ie sugars. I always prefer the real deal.
