Here's the second dish – Thai Yellow Curry with Prawns – in the Thai Takeout Night series! So far we've seen a traditional Thai Coconut Soup called Tom Kha Gai and still to come are Pad See Ew and Thai Iced Tea!
Yellow curry is my absolute favorite of the curries. It's slightly sweet and salty with just a hint of spice. The flavors of ginger, garlic, and turmeric are the standout stars of this dish, all of which have incredible anti-inflammatory properties. Thai Yellow Curry with Prawns is traditionally served with potatoes, vegetables and a protein, but you won't find the starchy potato in this recipe. I think it overpowers the delicious flavor of the curry, plus we don't eat them! You also won't find curry paste in the ingredient list. This is a completely homemade curry without the use of processed shortcuts. Don't fret though, it's as easy as throwing everything into a food processor or blender then simmering until thick and flavorful. There's not even chopping involved!

This was absolutely delicious! I never realised how easy it was to make your own curry paste either! Will definitely be doing it more often. Fantastic flavours in this dish.

I made this tonight and it was so good! I used fresh chilis and spices instead of driend (actually ground up all my spices), made my own coconut milk from whole coconuts (negates the use of coconut cream which I couldn’t find SCD legal and added a little lemongrass and cinnamon for some more flavor. It turned about amazing so thank you for this recipe!! Now I’ve gotta invites someone over for leftovers!

As a vegetarian I would leave out the prawns. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good substitute for the fish sauce?
Nikki
If you want “rice” you can make a rice-like food from cauliflower.

A few questions…what do you replace palm sugar with if SCD? Honey? How much? Where do you get an scd legal tomato paste? And can I substitute the coconut butter with something else or is that a good staple to have on hand? Thanks and looks delicious!
