Thai Red Curry Chicken

Friends for a meal are easy to find, friends until end of life are difficult to find. - Thai Proverb

Who gives a damn about friends. There is no concept of friends and love in these modern times.

Anyway

The Thai proverb was just my lame attempt to start this Thai recipe that I picked up from my good friend Mehvish Abubaker's blog journalofafoodaholic.blogspot.com which I don't know why she has abandoned.

Thai Red Curry Chicken is name of this spicy recipe. If you want to burn your whole existence or if you want to set your loved ones on fire I will suggest you to make this crimson delight for them.

It's extremely easy to make if you have Thai Red Curry paste but what will ease bring you humans?

Let's make Thai Red Curry paste first.

For Thai Red Curry paste you need:

Dried red chili 15-20

Onion 1/2

Garlic Paste 1 teaspoon

Ginger Paste 1 teaspoon

Salt 1 teaspoon

Turmeric powder 1/4 teaspoon

Cumin 1 teaspoon

Coriander whole 1 teaspoon

Black pepper crushed 1/2 teaspoon

Water 1/2 cup

Soak the red chilies in hot water for an hour.

After that drain the water and add the chilies plus all the mentioned ingredients in a blender. Grind until it becomes a fine paste.

Take out the paste and put it aside. Let it cool down.


Remember whenever cooking Asian cuisines  with rice, always cook rice before the gravy because the rice will stay fresh for a longer time than the gravy.
