Why is curry so versatile?

Curry, a generic dish name that you find in many cookbooks, online recipes and food blogs. Indian curry, Thai curry, Malaysian curry, Japanese curry, you name it. 

Curry paste, a heaven sent product that makes cooking our favourite dish quick and easy, without cooking up a storm in our kitchen (don't make me go into details how my grandma used to pound spices and fresh ingredients to cook us curry).

With a simple curry paste, you can create a dish according to your liking, let it be a meat based or a vegeterian curry. The ingredients in curry, from the spice mixes to the finished dish vary in every country and culture, even in my home country, Malaysia. When we were invited to a party a few years ago, our Malaysian Indian friend used the same curry paste I have been using for years to cook us a chicken curry, it tasted totally different from my family recipe.

But for now, I would like to share with you my family recipe, using our favourite Tean's Vegetarian curry paste. It’s easy to adjust the spiciness of this dish by increasing the amount of water or coconut milk used.

 

Vegetarian Curry

 

Ingredients:
1 pack of Tean's Vegetarian curry paste
200ml Chaokoh Coconut Milk
400ml Water
200g Cabbage (cut into pieces)
100g Japanese eggplants (or regular eggplant)
100g French beans
60g Red capsicum
60g Green capsicum

Instructions:
1. In a pan, add half a tbsp of oil and stir fry the eggplant for 3 mins on medium heat.
2. Repeat step 1 for the French beans
3. In a pot, heat a tbsp of oil and add the curry paste and stir fry it for 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the paste.
4. Add 400ml water and bring it to a boil.
5. Add the vegetables, cover the pot and let it boil for 5 mins.
6. Stir in 200ml coconut milk and let the curry shimmer for another 3 mins.
7. Serve with steamed rice. 

** We didn’t add any salt since it’s been added to the ready made paste.
