red curry

Spicy coconut dish

Red curry is a Thai dish featuring a paste made from red chilies, garlic, lemongrass, and other aromatics, typically cooked with coconut milk and meat or vegetables.

The paste itself is also called red curry.

It's milder than green curry despite the color suggesting otherwise: I'll have the red curry with chicken.
