Chu Chi Curry

Chu Chi is a thick, dry-style red curry cooked with very little liquid, creating an intensely reduced sauce that clings to prawns or fish — garnished with kaffir lime leaves and red chilli.

Key Ingredients

• red curry paste
• coconut milk
• prawns or fish
• kaffir lime leaves
• red chilli

Where to Try It

Seafood restaurants in Bangkok and coastal Thai towns.

Tips

• The dish should be fragrant and nearly dry — if it looks like soup, it is not authentic Chu Chi.
