Advice
When making yellow curry, it's important to use the right ingredients and to season it properly. Start by toasting the curry powder in oil to bring out the flavors. Add a few tablespoons of yellow curry paste and cook until fragrant. Next, add your aromatics such as onion, garlic, and ginger and cook until softened. Finally, add in your desired vegetables and proteins and cook until they are tender. To make the curry sauce, mix together coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer the sauce until it has reduced and thickened. Finally, season the curry to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Enjoy!
