Red curry is a popular Thai dish based on coconut milk heated with red curry paste and fish sauce.

Depending on the specific dish, red curry dishes may include ingredients such as kaffir lime leaves, Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, thai basil and some sort meat such as chicken, beef, pork or shrimp. Tofu can be substituted for a vegetarian option.

It is worth noting, however, that red curry paste itself almost always contains shrimp paste and is not normally suitable for vegetarians.

Red curry paste itself is the core ingredient of a number of other non-related dishes such as Satay and Tod Mun.
