Thai Curry - Red vs. Green
Thai red and green curry are different, not only in their color, but also, in their flavors and level of spice. Red curry is normally a lot spicier than green, although that can depend on the chef and how they make it. Green curry, however, has a unique flavor profile that makes it stand out. Here’s why:
Green curry is made from ingredients such as basil, coriander, and green chillies. Other ingredients can include lemongrass, shallots, ginger, and kaffir lime leaves. Apart from creating its green color, these ingredients also give it a fresh and vibrant taste that tends to be a real crowd pleaser!
Its red counterpart, on the other hand, is normally made with a large amount of chilies, giving it its red color and spice. Nowadays, a lot of chefs are using chili powder rather than whole chillies to deepen the flavor. Red curry also features coconut milk, garlic, galangal, and shrimp paste.
