Kojaks Thai Yellow Curry
1 can of coconut milk
1 can yellow curry paste (sometimes labeled Karee) preferably from imported food store
2 lbs. of broccoli
3 large potatoes
optional: onions, carrots, bamboo shoots
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
rice
-Its a good idea to get the rice boiling right away.-Chop the potatoes into small pieces and place into a large pot of boiling water.-Chop broccoli, but don't put it in the water just yet.-Pour 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil in a pan and heat.-Place 3 Tbsps. of curry paste on pan, and fry for about a minute while chopping it with a spatula.-Pour coconut milk into pan with the curry paste and stir.-Drain the water from the larger pot that the potatoes have been boiling in. (by now the rice should be done)-Put chopped broccoli in with the boiled potatoes.-Pour the pan of curry/coconut milk sauce into the larger pot over the vegetables.-Let it cook at a lower temperature for a few minutes and you're ready for a throw down..
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Try some Cayanne Pepper to make it hotter or some Chilli Peppers
I liked this, used cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, and onion, to try to imitate my fave Thai place. Tofu when I remembered it. For me, it's missing the spice, and I'm at a loss at to what should be added to make it "Thai hot." Thoughts?
i make something like this using red curry paste (i just prefer it to yellow), and i add bamboo shoots, baby corn, basil and eggplant, and sometimes i throw in a potato :)
