Gonna play my hand at some curry tonight. New recipe. Looking for experienced tips.
Ingredients:
Chicken, cubed
Red onion, diced
Tomato, diced
Purple garlic, minced
Ginger, minced
Thai chilies, chopped
Cilantro, garnish
Coconut Milk
Seasonings:
Turmeric
Curry powder
Cumin
Mustard powder
Cayenne
Chili powder
Paprika
Cinnamon
Plan is to roast the dry seasonings for a few minutes in a dutch oven on the stove, then plop the vegetables and chicken in with some oil to saute for a bit. When everything looks like it's nearing finished I'll add the coconut milk and taste for salt. Will be served with a side of quinoa.

Ypu will need to add some sugar. Brown sugar works better than white. Palm sugar is best. Any Thai curry will benefit a lot from Kaffir lime leaf. It has a very fresh taste that's difficult to substitute. Lime zest or juice doesn't cut it so I bought some dried leaves online.
I also recommend using shallots and vidalia onion instead of red onion OR just getting some red/yellow/green curry paste. This is what most Thai people do. Some make their paste ahead of time and store it but most just buy paste in a jar, throw it in some hot oil, and add coconut milk.

Pretty much no store bought curry mixes have curry leaf, in part because dried curry leaf has no flavor. Some do have ground fenugreek though which is better than nothing.

Oh and one last thing OP if you want to step your game up get a mortar and pestle and start buying some spices whole instead of ground. The mortar and pestle will also help you get way more out of your garlic by crushing it (not as time consuming or difficult as it sounds).
