YELLOW CURRY

 Thai yellow curry includes turmeric as one of the vital ingredients, giving the curry its typical golden-yellow hue. In fact, some Thai yellow curries resemble Indian curry in appearance while remaining distinctly Thai in taste.

Yellow curry paste (nam prik gaeng karee) has a mild, somewhat sweet taste with a little bit of spice. In addition to the turmeric, curry powder is pounded combined with coriander seeds, cumin, lemongrass, galangal or ginger, garlic, and yellow or red chili. Thai yellow curry chicken is a common dish, and the paste is often combined with coconut milk and used in fish stews.
