The 10-minute master curry formula

Stop googling four different recipes. Honestly: red, green, panaeng or massaman – the method is the same for all of them. This is how Thai grandmothers do it … and they are always right.

  • medium hot
  • easy
Red curry with salmon in a pan

Ingredients

  • 1 tin coconut milk
  • 2–3 tbsp curry paste of your choice
  • Protein of your choice
  • Vegetables of your choice
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar
  • Chili crunch (optional)

Method

  1. The crack (crucial): heat 3 tbsp coconut milk, add 2–3 tbsp curry paste and fry until it smells amazing and the oil separates. This is the moment your curry decides to be great.

  2. The simmer: add the protein and coat it well. Pour in the remaining coconut milk, then the vegetables. Feels like cooking already, doesn't it?

  3. The balance (the big secret): simmer until the vegetables are tender (about 5–7 minutes). Now taste and act wisely: 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tsp coconut sugar. Magic happens. You are now officially a curry master.

  4. The danger zone: want it hotter? Drizzle some chili crunch over before serving. Definitely spicier than Aromat – but you'll keep doing it anyway.
