What is the Difference Between Thai and Indian Curry?
There are several types of popular curry recipes out there, it’s hard to know how to differenciate between them. Indian curry usually features a creamy coconut milk or tomato base with a wide variety of delicious spices. Thai and Chinese curries are kind of like beef stew and can be a little more mild than Indian curry. Chinese and Japanese curry also tends to use the same types of spices, like cumin and ginger. This recipe is the perfect blend of both worlds; sweet, creamy, slightly spicy and full of delicious ingredients that are familiar enough that the whole family will enjoy.
