Notes
- Curry Paste: I used Ayam Thai Yellow curry paste. Thai Red curry paste would also work. If using red curry paste, use 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons for a mild to medium level curry.
- Spiciness: ¼ cup curry paste makes a mild curry. For a more mild to medium, add an extra tablespoon of curry paste. Alternatively you might like to add some chilli flakes to the mild curry for an extra bit of spiciness (this is my favourite way to enjoy this curry!)
- Pineapple: I use canned pineapple in chunks, but you can use fresh if you prefer.
- Lemongrass: Use lemongrass paste if you can. Its easier and more convenient. If you can't find it in the supermarket, look for bottled lemongrass in the asian food aisle, or buy fresh lemongrass and diced up the same amount
- Other types of vegetables to use: ½ cup Zucchini chopped into small chunks, ½ cup of Diced Pumpkin, ½ cup Green beans sliced into 1 inch sticks, even 1 cup of frozen diced veges would work!
- Serving Options: Regular Options: White Jasmine Rice, Brown Rice, Pearl Cous Cous, Pearl Barley. Low Carb Options: Cauliflower Rice, Zucchini Noodles, Broccoli Rice.
- Storage: Curry will keep in the fridge for 3 days in an air tight container. I wouldn’t recommend freezing it.
