Notes
- Prep time does not include steps that are already accounted for in the ingredient list, e.g. minced garlic, cut vegetables, etc.
- Use a splatter screen if necessary, to guard against the coconut milk bubbling up.
- Thai curries are generally eaten with rice. If you're not planning on eating the curry with rice, you might need to adjust the salt by reducing the quantity of fish sauce.
- * I use 2 tablespoon of Mae Ploy brand or 3 tablespoon of Maesri brand.
- ** lime leaves also referred to as k-lime, makrut or kaffir lime leaves.
