Simple Thai Recipe

[Gavmacp]

Looking for simple Thai recipes as I want to expand my knowledge from Thai green curry. I have found a stall on the market that sell everything I should need. Would prefer recipes with coconut milk.

It's great that you are looking to expand your repertoir, but I think you need to nail things down a bit.

What would come to mind if I told you I've had a Cottage pie, and wanted to explore more British recipes - what can you recommend?

You are talking about the food of a sizeable country with varying cuisines, do you want to stick to more wet curry dishes or would you like to have some more varied recipes?

Go to a branch of The Works (cheapo bookshops) and you will find recipe books of Thai dishes from 99 pence upwards.

I sorted of wanted to start off with simple recipes and gradually build up a stock cupboard of ingredients.

Thai massaman chicken and potato curry is lovely. I have been cooking this for years, its not too hot and is really filling. For best results cook it in a slow cooker, tho it can be cooked on the hob, slowly for about 7 hours. For 3 people you'll need, 3 chicken breasts, 4 or 5 large potatoes, peeled and quartered, (Maris Piper are best), 3 chopped onions, 1 chicken stock cube, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 can of coconut milk, 4/5 tablespoons of Massaman curry paste. Method; In a heavy bottomed pan slowly fry the curry paste for about 5 minutes, add coconut milk and simmer for a few minutes, add the chicken breasts and simmer for a further few minutes, pour all of this into the slow cooker and add all other ingredients plus a can of water (rinse the coconut can), cook on low heat for about 6-8 hours, stirring every couple of hours, taste it half way through and add more sugar or fish sauce to taste. Serve with steamed/boiled rice, enjoy!
