Answer 3

Thai coconut curries are famous for their rich velvety texture. The difference between the 4 major kinds (red, green, yellow and mussamun (muslim)) are that red is the hottest using dried red chillies; green is slightly milder and uses fresh green chillies with lots of coriander leaf(cilantro), yellow which is actually a milder version of a red curry but with the addition of turmeric to give it that golden yellow colour and mussamun style which is essentially a red curry but with spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cardomom) added to the paste indicating the heritage of the muslims of the south. 2 cups worth of this curry over 1 cup of rice or rice noodles is a fairly substantial main course. Coconut milk is rich and fatty, so don't overdo it by giving too much to each person.

Green is made with fresh green chili, red is made with dried chili, and yellow is made with the same as red but relies heavily on tumeric.

the Green is heavy on lemongrass. The Yellow turmeric, cumin & coriander, and the Red has chili powder and fish sauce

Answer 5

Green curry and red curry are easily the most popular curries, utilizing chili peppers, garlic, lemon grass, and coconut milk, among other essential herbs and spices, depending upon the region or brand. Chefs may also have their own particular variations. Green curry is made with fresh, young green chilis, and is significantly hotter than other curries. Red curry is made with bigger red chilis, which are not as hot as their green counterpart, but still packing significant heat. Green curry tends to lean toward a sweeter flavor, while red explores the savory side.

Yellow curry is highly aromatic and brightly colored due to roasted spices and an infusion of turmeric, and is typically paired with fish or poultry. The curry has a rich, bold taste, sweet with subtle hints of spices, and is effectively hot without being overpowering. Yellow curry hails from southern Thailand and is usually made with the addition of yellow peppers.
