Thai Curry can be can be ...Thai Curry can be can be made of Red, Green or Massaman Curry - usually in Coconut milk.
Red Curry is usually more spicy than green and Massaman Curry.
Masaman curry is also used in the Cambodian Dish Amoc which contains Sweet potatoes, with Fish or Chicken.
I love indian curry but nothing is better than Thai Curry :)

Curries ...Thai curry is the best, I usually make the green or red, the green with chicken and red with fish or prawns.. The indian I think is the yellow curry, not green. But u need to get the Thai ingredients from an Asian store, I just moved here so I dont know a store yet. Does anyone know where there is a good store for asian groceries? specially the Thai?
Ciao Chuss..

there are very few Indian curries ...most of the Indian cuisine consists of gravies
dont understand from why this word curry is used. It is derived from word kari in Chennai. Why do we refer to all Indian cooking as curries???
Eco-savvy said
Spicemom what a combination Fish curry and paratha ...fish curry is always eaten with rice, stale fish curry is eaten with Pao (kinda hot bun)
Snowstorm said
nice suggestions there eco-savvy ...YOU DONT KNOW ME, DONT EVEN TRY !!!
Eco-savvy said
Manayana youghurt is not main ingredient in curry ...we have one dish know as Dahi ki kaddi (youghurt curry) where bajiyas(fritters) are fried and dipped in the curry
Curry's main ingredient is fresh coconut or coconut milk.
Snowstorm said
stop it eco-savvy... my mouth is watering already lol ...YOU DONT KNOW ME, DONT EVEN TRY !!!
t_coffee_or_me said
Indian curry, have roasted ...Indian curry, have roasted spices the ingredients include chiles, cardamom, fenugreek, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, bay and ginger
Thai curries have highlight use of fresh chiles and might include onions, garlic, galangal, coconut, shrimp paste, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, cilantro and cloves while ranging from green to red to brownish-red. Typically, Thai curries are very hot.
One of the main differences in execution between Thai and Indian curries is the use of coconut milk in Thailand as both a base and a foil for the intense heat (capsicum level) of the finished curry.
Eco-savvy said
t-com you are talking about gravies ...in gravies we include cashewnuts, almonds, all the above ingredients you have mentioned, in Mughlai fried onions are used for taste and colour
We do not have curries except few. Now the question is why those gravies are called as curries.
