A thick sweet and spicy coconut milk based Thai curry, with predominant flavours of lemongrass and peanut. I’ll teach you how to make the curry paste from scratch, but this recipe is still fairly easy. You can even make extra curry paste and refrigerate or freeze for later. This is my first post, so I hope you like it!
