Red Curry Cod
Red curry is a popular dish in Thai cuisine, based on coconut milk and red curry paste.
An aromatic, delicious and quick dinner full of vegetables, colors and flavors. Curry goes great with rice or pasta, but I prefer the solo option. I used cod for this recipe, but you can substitute it with any other fish, chicken or tofu.
Red curry paste or spice is available in most stores. Try to choose one that has kaffir lime and lemongrass in it, thanks to them you will get an interesting citrus flavor, you can also add them separately like I did.
It will take you less than 30 minutes to prepare this delicious dish! It’s a great way to prepare cod or tilapia in a different way.
