Red Chicken Curry from Bangkok
Bangkok is full of Street Food. When you wander through the streets you’ll find Pad Thai, grilles sausages and beef alongside grilled fish. Maybe those are the first option for a quick snack but when you’re looking for a filling meal you should eat one of the typical currys of Bangkok. Our recipe is right from one of the Street Food stalls. Like all Street Food dishes this curry is also very easy to cook and the most important thing: It tastes like typical Street Food.
