If you notice, I didn’t use any oil in this recipe. I love cooking Thai curry paste in coconut cream. The fragrance coconut cream and curry paste mixed together are beautiful. You don’t really need oil in cooking it. The curry sauce takes about 15 minutes to make. For vegetarian, try the combination of mushroom and eggplant instead of chicken. This dish is very quick, easy and it works for us any time.
