How do you make a good yellow curry? With Thai curry paste, it's a piece of cake anyway. The curry paste itself is not spicy, but by adding a green pepper, you give it some spice yourself. Do you have a family with children who don't (yet) eat spicy food, and do you still want good Thai food? Then just leave out the pepper and even the pepper-haters can handle it (proven successful!). Using coconut whipping cream makes your curry extra creamy. Yes, whipping cream sounds sweet, but as long as you don't add sugar, it's just a full-fat coconut milk. Great for Thai curries! All in all, an example of how easy a recipe for Thai curry with potato and aubergine can be.

Tip(s)

  • Coconut whipped cream is also very nice to use in curries and savoury dishes. The flavour is not sweeter than coconut milk, it just contains more coconut (and thus more fat). Ideal for extra rich Thai curries!
