Thai Red Curry is spicy and flavourful curry loaded with veggies. It’s warm and perfect for cool days. It’s rich and full of vegetables that it doesn’t take too much time to cook. I tried store-bought Thai red curry paste that adds characteristic Thai flavour.

- To cook the rice, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rinsed rice and continue boiling for 30 minutes, reducing heat as necessary to prevent overflow. Remove from heat, drain the rice and return the rice to the pot. Cover and let the rice.
