Recipe for Red hot Thai curry with basil

Ingredients

  • 5 dried red chillies ( I used the ''bedki'' variety)
  • 8 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 medium sized onion-roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup tightly packed basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup thick coconut milk ( I used Dabur homemade)
  • 1 tub fresh mushrooms (wiped thoroughly and chopped roughly)
  • 2 green peppers-chopped roughly
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas.
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • Salt
  • Turmeric -pinch
  • 1 tbsp peanut oil / vegetable oil

Cooking Directions

In a saucepan, take a cup of water. Add the chillies, garlic, onion. Bring to a boil and simmer for 7-8 minutes, till the spices have softened. Remove in a bowl and cool.

Once cooled, grind the spices with the basil leaves to a fine paste adding a little bit of water which was used for boiling. In case you dont have tomato puree, you can grind a big tomato into the paste.

In a pan, heat the oil. Saute the green peppers with a pinch of tumeric and salt, for 3-4 minutes, then add the mushrooms, peas and saute till almost cooked.

Add the red paste, tomato puree, coconut milk, salt to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped basil.

If you thought that was too hot, cool off with my entry to Meeta''s Beat the heat- a tall glass of
