Thai Sweet Potato Curry

This gently spicy dish packs a healthy dose of vitamin A, folate and antioxidants, thanks to all of the colourful vegetables. A little bit of tofu makes a nice protein source, and cooking it in the sauce from the beginning gives it time to absorb the delicious curry flavours.

Curried Banana Beef Stew

This mildly spiced dish gets a touch of sweetness from the plantains and sweet potatoes. Use green plantains because they are firm and will not fall apart during cooking. Serve over basmati rice.

Red Coconut Chicken Curry

This dish can be quite hot and spicy depending on the brand of curry paste used. The variety in the pouch (instead of the jar or can) tends to be milder. For those sensitive to spicy food, reduce the curry paste to 2 tsp (10 mL). In a pinch, use mild Indian curry paste.

Coconut Curry Simmered Fish Fillets

Any fish will work beautifully, but pickerel, whitefish or lake trout are especially tasty. There are several curry pastes available, so experiment to find one you like (try Thai red curry paste for a really fiery dish). Serve this saucy curry over rice or rice noodles.

Thai Salmon Green Curry

Fish sauce has a strong taste that mellows slightly as it cooks. If you're not used to it, add it in small quantities, until desired flavour is achieved.

Easy Thai Green Curry With Tofu and Vegetables

A curry is a great place to add or substitute your favourite vegetables. Since commercial Thai curry paste is generally made with fish sauce or shrimp, we've used our own recipe, which makes enough for a few meals. If fish is part of your diet, you can substitute fish sauce for the salt.
