COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP (CREAMY, THAI RED CURRY)

Steps:

• Bring to boil 1/2 cup coconut milk in a deep saute pan on medium heat. Add Thai red curry paste, 2 springs of Thai basil (do not chop/tear basil), paprika, and sugar and boil stirring often until paste is fragrant and coconut milk reduces to half. (4-5 minutes)
• Add remaining coconut milk, and vegetables (See Note 1). Bring to rolling boil on medium heat. Now add shrimp. Cook stirring often to prevent sticking at bottom, for 5-6 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
• Take off heat. Fish-out and discard the cooked Thai basil stems (if still intact). Stir-in the fish sauce, 1 tsp lime juice, and remaining fresh Thai basil leaves. Now, taste and adjust salt, lime juice. Serve over rice with extra lime wedges for a delicious Thai Red Curry and rice dinner.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 450 and postion a rack near the top. In a large bowl, whisk 1/2 tsp of the red curry paste with the oil. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread the chicken on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and just starting to brown. Remove from the oven; preheat the broiler.
• 2. While chicken is browning, in a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar and the remaining red curry paste. Cook over high heat, bring to a boil for about 4 minutes and then cook over high heat stirring occassionally until slightly thickened.
• 3. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl. Add the coconut-curry sauce and toss to coat. Pour off any excess fat from the baking sheet. Return the chicken to the sheet and pour any extra sauce over the chicken. Broil for 5 minutes, turning once (should be browned). Transfer to a platter and serve with cilantro and lime wedges.

SPICY CHICKEN COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the Ghee in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, ginger, and garlic and cook slowly until the onions are very soft, about 15 minutes. Add the tomato paste, Curry Powder, cinnamon stick, and chiles and give it a good stir; season with salt and pepper. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock and bring it back to a simmer; cook until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chicken, cilantro, and half the lemon juice; continue to simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Garnish with cilantro and mint leaves.
• Put the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Melt the butter slowly and make sure it does not sizzle or brown. Increase the heat and bring the butter to a boil. When the surface is covered with foam, stir gently and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Gently simmer, uncovered, and undisturbed for 45 minutes, until the milk solids in the bottom of the pan have turned golden brown and the butter on top is transparent. Strain the ghee through a sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth. The ghee should be perfectly clear and smell nutty; pour into a glass jar and seal tightly.
• Toast the coriander, cumin, cardamom, peppercorns, fennel, mustard, cloves, and the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat just until they smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. In a clean coffee grinder or spice mill, grind the toasted spices together to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and give it another quick buzz to combine. Use the curry powder immediately, or store in a sealed jar for up to 1 month.

• In the same pan, add onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat until fragrant. Add bell pepper, cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato paste and curry paste, cook for 1 minute. Add coriander, cumin and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour broth and bring to a boil.

SWEET AND SPICY THAI CURRY AND COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• I like to use a hand blender at the start of this sauce to get everything blended well. Put all ingredients but the coconut in a food processor or use a hand blender until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add coconut at the end stirring in to keep flakes intact. If you are going to cook with this sauce add the sesame oil just before serving to get the best flavor from it.

SWEET AND SPICY CURRY WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

Stir in the garbanzo beans, tomatoes, curry powder, chili sauce, and coconut milk; bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

THAI RED CURRY PORK

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine water, oil, cornstarch and salt. Add the sliced pork shoulder to the bowl and mix well. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• In a medium bowl, stir together water, lime juice and salt. Add eggplant chunks to the bowl and soak to prevent the eggplant from turning brown. Set aside. Drain and rinse before cooking.
• In a large wok over high heat, heat the coconut cream until it bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red curry paste, brown sugar, pork, and squash and stir to mix. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, for approximately 5 minutes. Add the thin coconut milk and continue cooking, stirring for 15 minutes.
• Add the eggplant and cook, stirring constantly to fully submerge the eggplant to prevent from discolouring. Add the chiles, Thai basil leaves, lime leaves and fish sauce. Mix well and cook for another minute. Season to taste then remove from the heat.
