Thai Yellow Curry

Thai Yellow Curry

This curry paste creates a fragrant curry made with lemongrass, turmeric and chilli. In Thailand it's often cooked with chicken or seafood – but this one is veggie to ensure it caters to all tastes and preferences. It also keeps well in the fridge or freezer for a quick midweek supper.
