I have really been missing Thailand lately after spending months in and out of Bangkok last winter. The sun and the lush vegetation were so wonderful. The food was also what I love. It was so easy to eat the kind of food that I love and easy to have those things veganized.
In the south of Thailand in Krabi town, I had some delicious curry and in Bangkok a friend made a curry I will never get out of my mind. We ate it on a picnic in Chatuchuk park. It was a lovely time.
Today I had to fix up some Thai inspired curry to help satiate my longing. I chose yellow this time. I am no expert at Thai food but I put together the basics and came up with a spicy soothing yellow curry.
For the basic paste I used lemon grass stalks, kaffir lime leaves, shallots, chilies, and galangal.
I used about three inches of the bottom of the lemongrass chopped up. three kaffir lime leaves around 1 tablespoon minced galangal root and 5 chilies. I chopped everything before putting it in the blender.
I added toasted dry spices and then blended everything together to make a paste.
Dry ingredients
1 1teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1teaspoon turmeric
1/teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
I wanted to buy a mortar and pestle but the store nearby where I last saw them doesn't carry it anymore. I didn't have time to go to Chinatown. So when I use a blender to make the paste I have to add liquid to make it blend. I added water bit by bit and lime juice. When it starts to blend I stop adding liquid.
The amount of liquid in the paste will determine how much you put in the curry. This is why I wanted a mortar and pestle. I would love a good food processor but I will have to wait until the restaurants open and we have more hours at work.
It was kind of a clean out the fridge day so I put in what I had. This included tofu, cauliflower, carrots, and peas. First the onions, garlic, shallots and ginger were put in a hot pan to saute.
I threw in a can of coconut milk as well. I don't even think it would be right without coconut milk.
It was garnished with cilantro, lime, peanuts and green onions. Those are my favorite for Thai curry.
It was accompanied with my favorite rice with Thai dishes, which is Jasmine.
I wish everyone a good weekend and thanks for stopping by.
