Thai curries are a side dish that are on our buffet table on a regular base. At the Food Forest Kitchen we make these curries with a vegan curry paste, which are easy to make. Here is our version of a vegan Thai yellow curry with tofu. The base is our home made yellow curry paste.
This recipe is made with tofu, but you can add fish, chicken or beef if you want, if you don't want a vegan curry.
