Thai Red Chicken Curry

When I was younger, I took some cooking lessons from my Thai neighbour. She taught me to make this Thai Red Curry along with a few more dishes which I hope to share with you very soon. This red curry is very quick to make with lots of flavour, making it a great weekday meal. Serve this over rice to satisfy all your Thai food cravings.

Hannah’s Hints:

• Thai curry paste brand: I use AROY-D Red Curry Paste. It has a very authentic Thai flavour. You can find it in many Asian food markets for around $8 CAD.
• Concentrated chicken stock brand: I use Better than Bouillon. You can buy it in any grocery store, but Costco has a great deal on it.
• Coconut milk brand: I use AROY-D Coconut Milk. You can find it in Asian food markets for around $4 CAD.
