Chicken Curry
Chicken Curry
This red chicken curry is as authentic as possible. I had to adapt this version slightly based on ingredients available locally, but the result is absolutely delicious. It’s a true treat for the taste buds! You’ll need kaffir lime leaves, which add a distinctive citrus aroma to the curry. Since they can be difficult to find in regular grocery stores, I recommend purchasing them online. Here a link where you can buy it. This ingredient is commonly used in many Thai dishes.

- Heat a wok and spoon in about 3 to 4 tablespoons of coconut cream from the top of the can. Cook for 1 minute.
