Red Thai Curry

I know those times when I used to go to Basil on Short North. It happened first time when my manager took me to Basil for lunch in the first week I started working for DuetHealth. I liked the food and since my manager paid the bill I never felt how expensive it was. Though to be fair the way it was setup I knew it must be out of my budget for daily lunch.

If you take a look at menu, it will cost you somewhere between $12-$16 including tip assuming you put at least 20%. The reason I stopped going there was management's decision to cut off lunch special. Basil would serve lunch special which would include a soup for starter, side such as egg roll, crab wantons and entrees which would include noodles and rice menu. All for just $8.5 plus taxes and tips would go around $11. It was ok for me to have it once a week, but when they closed this menu, I was mad. They never brought it back and now it's been 6 months since I last visited it. So no more green or red curry from Basil for me. So the only option I had was to make it at home.

Thanks to YouTube video on How to make a Thai red curry. There were bunch of ingredients I had to bring from Walmart. It includes but not limited to coconut milk, red thai curry paste, soy sauce and stir fry sauce. I also had to buy few vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, red peppers, cashew, peanuts and celery.

For some reason I did not make it too spicy. Either I put red curry paste too less or put coconut milk little more. But adding stir fry sauce improved its taste in terms of spice level. Besides I also made a rice to take this curry over. Curry just looked awesome. But I myself was not happy with final product.

Tomorrow I am going back to Walmart to make preparations for this week's recipes. The purchase will be directed towards donuts, red thai curry (One more time) and chicken.
