Choo Chee Thai Prawn Curry

Serves 4 Prep Time 5 minutes   Cook Time 15 minutes   Rated:


Choo Chee Thai Curry with Prawns is a rich and aromatic Thai dish featuring a thick, creamy coconut curry sauce. It's known for its vibrant red colour, balanced heat, and slightly sweet flavour, often complemented by the natural sweetness of prawns. Personally I love the name...I mean, Choo Chee...it's the noise you make as you are eating something hot and spicy while waving your hand in front of your mouth isn't it?

We love it with a little bit of Chilli Jam on the side and if you are low carb, make sure you read up about the amazing Thermomix Low Carb Cooked Rice and serve it alongside. It is the only way we are eating rice these days!

This recipe does not appear in the My Thai book, but should appear in our update of that book, if we ever get to it! This is a fantastic recipe and you will love it. The My Thai book is free to Insider Club members...it has never been a better time to join us.

Just look at what is included in that book! 

Make sure you check out our other Thai recipes, this is one of my favourite cuisines and should in fact be a full sized cookbook. Make sure you stay tuned in case we decide to head over to Thailand again on a foodie adventure.
