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!
