Okay so I’m pretty sure no matter where you are currently living its cold, below freezing temperatures, snow storms and cold nights. Well even for us southerns, the nights are getting really cold and all I want to do is eat some hot, comforting and spicy.
Thai food is one of those meals that we all can’t get enough of, something about the flavors, textures and spices are all so addicting! This Panang curry dish is everything I described and MORE, not to mention easy too. The key is the Thai curry paste, I know its very tough to find the right paste but I’ve linked two paste that I highly recommend and trust. Feel free to add chicken, shrimp or tofu into dish, along with other veggies I’ve listed in the recipe.
Where can I find the ingredients?
I found the panang curry paste at H- Mart but I’ve also ordered it off amazon many times. The other Thai curry paste can be found at any grocery store as well, just use a little bit more because its not as potent as the (1st choice). The coconut milk is far by my favorite brand and has never failed me, this also can be found at any grocery store.

Notes

- I like to cook the veggies a little bit before adding into the curry because I the crunch, you can skip this step and add it towards the end as well.
