Easy Thai Yellow Curry using Thai Curry Paste

Did you know that you can make delicious Thai curry at home easily? I do it all the time with a help of store bought Thai curry paste. If you have these curry paste, making Thai curry is a piece of cake!

Recently, I see many Thai food product at my local supermarket. You can also purchase them on-line. I like making Thai curry with Chicken but you can use beef, Shrimp or Tofu and many different kind of vegetables.

There are many brands but my favorite brand of curry paste is "maesri". Hands down. This is how it looks. They also have many different kind of products. Unfortunately, my local super market does not carry this brand so whenever I find this brand of curry paste, I buy them a few and stack them in my pantry.

My favorite coconut milk brand is "Chaokor". I tried other brands of coconut milk also but this one is the best one in my opinion. I also stack this coconut milk in my pantry. It is very useful to have it stocked.

This time, I made Yellow curry so I used Chicken and Potato.  I also added some onion to give it a bit of sweetness to it.

Here is how I made my yellow Thai curry using yellow thai curry paste.

Chicken                                          1 lb
Potato                                              3 medium
Onion                                              1 large

Milk                                                2 cups
Fish Sauce                                       1 table spoon
Vegetable oil                                   1 table spoon

1. Cut onion into slices, cut chicken into bite size pieces, cut a potato into 6 pieces vertically. (same for 2 other potatoes)

2. In a deep pot, add vegetable oil and add curry paste. Saute little bit.

3. Add sliced onion into the pan and saute with the paste until the onion is soft.

4. Add 1 can of coconut milk and heat till it boils.

5. Add Chicken, potato, another can of coconut milk and 2 cups of milk into the pan.

6. Let it simmer for about 30mins until everything is cooked.

7. Add fish sauce.

8. Serve with Jasmine rice.

Depends on your spice tolerance level, you can adjust your curry paste amount or coconut milk (milk) amount. For me, these amount above was perfect spiciness. It is not too spicy but have some kick to it.
