Thai Yellow Curry
with Chicken and Veggies
This "Thai yellow curry" recipe has easy to prepare and contains lots the ingredients that one would associate with this fragrant and spicy Thai dish. One of the main ingredient of any Thai Curry is the spice paste that acts as the foundation of the dish.
Whenever possible I use fresh ingredients in my recipes which often makes a significant difference in the taste and appearance of a home cooked meal. For this curry however I chose to use a commercially available curry paste that I purchased from the Asian Supermarket near by. The paste is really of a good quality and it saves me a lot of time preparing this curry for tonight.
