If you are a curry lover and have not yet tried the Thai-style yellow curry, you are missing out big time! The signature authentic Thai-style yellow curry is made with the rich, creamy curry along with other ingredients that complement each other perfectly to create this outrageously delicious dish. Have you ever wondered what ingredients are used in this creamy, delicious yellow curry? Well, here is your answer!
First of all, here is a little background on the main ingredients; Thai curries and spices. Curry is one of Thailand’s favorite dishes, but in the Thai language curry refers to only one of many combinations of spices. It contains turmeric or saffron among other things and can be recognized by its yellow color. To make a curry paste, Thai people mix all the staple spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic, onion, bay leaf, lemongrass together using a mortar and pestle. A few tablespoons of the paste are then heated over a wok, which releases the fragrant oils from the chilies, garlic and onion in the paste. After they’ve got the curry paste, the next ingredient they use is the creamy coconut milk, which sort of tones down the spiciness of the dish and gives it a last kick. Lastly, add some potatoes and voilà, there you have it!
The most popular yellow curry in Thailand is the chicken yellow curry, but it also tastes just as good with other choices of meat or even vegetables for those of you who are vegetarians out there! Usually Thai chicken yellow curry is served with a warm bowl of steamed rice. If you are a fan of curries, this is a must to try. You will fall in love with the creamy taste of curry with a hint of spiciness and tanginess from the spices and curry paste!
