What is a Thai Red Vegetarian Curry?

It is a vegetarian curry made with a selection of vegetables, pulses and curry paste that traditionally includes red chillies, garlic, cumin, coriander, lime juice, galangal, fish sauce, onion, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and coconut milk.

A Thai Green Curry Paste is made as above but with green chillis instead of red and a handful of fresh coriander.

Thai curries as a general rule tend to sweet, spicy, sour and salty. A delicious meld of opposite flavours that make the most moreish of dishes. Try it and see baby. It's a keeper.

How To Make Easy Slow Cooker Thai Red Curry

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and stir through

I do usually empty the coconut milk into a jug or bowl and mix the coconut cream mostly into the coconut milk with a fork. But that's as energetic as it gets.

Crazy eh?

Cook on High for 3 hours or 5 hours on Low or until the sweet potato is cooked. There is a danger of the sweet potato overcooking and becoming too soft.

Also different slow cookers cook differently so I recommend using a fork to check how that sweet potato is cooking.
