NOTE: This is the same curry as my other Vegetable Thai Red Curry, except that it serves more people. I have increased the quantity of broccoli and pumpkin as these are the two vegetables that sing a number one hit in this curry.

  • Pumpkin 1kg (no skin, cut into medium cubes -bite size)
  • 1 carrot - sliced into chunks
  • Half a red capsicum - cut into chunks
  • Coconut Milk 270ml (use Ayam Premium or other quality one - not diluted)
  • Coconut Cream 270 ml (Ayam Premium brand or your favourite - pure, not diluted)
  • Thai Red Curry Paste (1/2 a cup - Ayam brand is delicious, but use your favorite)
  • Chilli Powder ¼ heaped teaspoon (load it up)
  • Kaffir Lime Leaves x 8 (fresh if possible, but dried is fine too)
  • Coriander stalks fresh x 3 teaspoons (finely chopped) - a substitute is dried coriander leaves

Instructions
  1. Steam all vegetables until tender and ready to eat, but still slightly firm (strain & cool)
  2. Stir fry red curry paste with chilli powder & peanut oil in a frying pan on stove top - medium for about 4 minutes
  3. Add coconut milk, coconut cream, coriander stalks and kaffir lime leaves
  4. Stir and simmer for about 4 minutes (don't boil)
  5. Add all vegetables to the curry mixture
  6. Stir gently until all vegetables are fully coated and heated for about 5 minutes
  7. Add Himalayan Pink Salt to taste
  8. SERVE in a bowl topped with a very generous scattering of fresh coriander leaves.
  9. OPTIONAL - serve with jasmine rice as a side dish
Notes
Use a quality curry paste and quality coconut milk/cream. I personally use Ayam brand for both. Avoid diluted or lite coconut milk/cream if you want maximum flavor.
