Thai cuisine is our most favorite in the world! We have Thai food every chance we get and we also love to cook it at home a lot. This curry is our version of various curries we have eaten over the years and with minor changes, you can make different kinds of curries which are equally easy and equally delicious! This version is low carb as well as vegan so try it out and eat to your heart’s content. 😀

Notes

• We usually make this without adding any pre-made curry paste, but you can add any kind of paste you like (Penang/Red/Green) and make different curries using the same recipe.
• You can replace lime juice with lime peels, lime juice or lemon juice.
• Bay leave is an unusual ingredient for thai curry but it gives an amazing flavor.
