TOM KHA THAI PRAWN CURRY
TOM KHA THAI PRAWN CURRY
This is a delicious weeknight curry that can be made in 30 minutes. It is the perfect balance of sweet and sour and also has a bit of a spicy kick for those who like a medium spiced curry.
You may have heard of Tom Yum soup. Well, this is the creamier curry style cousin of that famous Thai dish. The coconut milk gives it a little more thickness and flavour in my opinion. You will need to buy 500g of fresh prawns if they have the shell on, as you lose approximately 50 per cent to the shell and head. I use a Tom Yum paste; most pastes will be based on the core Tom Yum ingredients of lemongrass, galangal, lime leaves and a smoked chilli paste called Nam Prik Pao. The subtle smoked flavour of the chilli is another good reason to buy store bought. It’s hard to find Nam Prik Pao. You can find Tom Yum paste in your local Asian grocery store.
