Notes
- Thai Red Curry Paste: Start with a smaller amount and add more according to your taste and heat preference.
- Lemongrass: Remember to remove the lemongrass and Kaffir lime leaves before serving.
- Coconut Milk: Use full-fat canned coconut milk for a richer, creamier curry.
- Variations: Feel free to add more vegetables or replace chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Serving: This curry is best served immediately over steamed rice.
