  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your curry the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like your curry spicy, add more red curry paste or chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, use less paste or peppers.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Serve the curry with jasmine rice: Jasmine rice is a traditional accompaniment to Thai red curry and it perfectly soaks up all of the delicious sauce.
