Thai Red Chicken Curry
Description
This is a traditional Thai curry made with a subtle blend of hot, salty, sweet and sour flavours. It is very easy to make and I always buy pre-made curry paste from the supermarket. I sometimes double the recipe as it only serves 2 people. This curry tastes equally delicious using any selection of seafood such as shrimp, scallops or pieces of firm fish such as Rockling.
