Thai Red Curry
This one was underwhelming…so I won’t bother with a recipe. If I ever get it right, I’ll share, but for the time being I just can’t compete with the Thai place down the street.
I even managed to undercook my rice somehow, which isn’t an issue I ever have. Must just be that kind of day…
On a side note of sorts, as I was cooking this I was wondering if Thai restaurants use ‘Thai Kitchen’ products behind the scenes…do Thai people?
Selah.



Which of the New Haven Thai places is your favorite? I like the curries at Thai Taste, but I’m not wild about their noodle dishes.
I love Thai Awesome on Dixwell Ave in Hamden. Especially if you go before 3 and get the lunch special. You get a soup, salad, and choice of entree. And they’re VERY veggie accommodating. They’ll make any soup Veggie along with any dish…they even thought to eliminate fish sauce from the Pad Thai when I didn’t even think to ask.
You also can’t beat the price…I think it’s 6.95 for the lunch special…and the plate is HUGE.
I’ve wanted to try Thai Awesome for awhile, but it’s never convenient for me.
I just read – literally just read, this afternoon – about a winter squash curry from Sweet Jasmine Rice. I love Thai curries with squash and I’ve missed them here in New Haven.
