Thai Yellow Curry with Seafood
By :Danielle Walker |

The sweet and ever-so-slightly-spicy flavor of Thai yellow curry has always been my favorite of the curry varieties. I make a big batch of homemade curry paste and store it in the freezer to use for quick meals throughout the month. Many people believe that a curry dish is simply a few tablespoons of curry powder mixed with a can of coconut milk. But for a truly authentic Thai curry, you need the paste, which is full of shallots, garlic, lemongrass, and spices. Traditional Thai curry features onions, potatoes, and sometimes bell peppers, but feel free to add any of your favorite vegetables to this version.
