Notes
The spice level of this curry is 3 on scale of 1-5 .. 1 being mild - so this is medium spicy. Adjust curry paste to your spice level
Honey , agave nectar or sugar can be used in place of peanut butter
Taste and adjust the curry paste spice , tanginess or sweetness as per your preference .
You can skip basil leaves if unavailable .
I have used Italian basil , feel free to use thai basil .
I quick steam tofu after is cubed in a microwave for 1 minute covering it with a wet paper towel.
If the curry seems very thick add water and adjust it.

Made this curry today with the homemade red curry paste from your website. It came out very delicious, Thank you so much for an awesome recipe. My son said it would have been better if I added more of the red curry paste and peanut butter. I added 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Next time I will use 4 tblsps of peanut butter and an additional tblsp of red curry paste. I guess it’s our taste buds looking for more buttery and flavor. I also added broccoli. thanks again for this recipe. Will share with friends.
Hi Khusboo. This Red thai curry of yours was absolutely mind blowing. Thank you for helping us, homemakers, out. I simply love your recipes. 🙂🤗
Glad you liked it Saloni. Thank you for a lovely feedback.
Will coconut milk curdle if we add lemon??? I have never used coconut milk so was wondering if it happens…
Hmm .. I haven’t had any instance of coconut milk curdling. However you may add lemon towards the end.
No. It won’t curdle. Coconut milk does not contain casein, which is what makes the curds that you are thinking of.
Thank you Rosemary for this information. I really appreciate.
Omg I can’t explain how quick and easy this recipes is… moreover it tastes heaven.. was a total hit in the house.. was my 1st time making it too.. thank u Khushboo for the instant and amazing recipe..

Hi khushboo… I want ti try your green thai curry recipe… want to know do we have to cook vegetables till tender or just hv to keep them raw ? Since I have never had thai curry but surely want to try… thanks for such lovely recipes in ur blog.
Deepika , veggies in Thai curry aren’t raw nor over cooked . It needs to have some crunch. I have mentioned the timings.Thank you.
