So, what's kept me going inspite of so many hurdles? It's all of your encouragement through comments. "Appreciation". Who dosen't like this? There are so many dishes that even my hubby has failed to appreciate(mostly he wil be engrossed in TV or talking to my son), but you guys are awesome. You have always been there for me. You are all the best!!! So, I want to take this opportunity and thank each and everyone of you who spent time on my blog going thru recipes, writing your valuable comments and given me suggestions to improve.So, here is a big "THANKYOU" for everything.
Ok, without further delay let's go to the recipe. This time I tried "Thai Red Curry". This has always been my favorite in thai dishes. I tried this recipe(red curry paste) from the cookbook "Authentic Thai Food". It was really good although I missed few of the authentic ingredients . So ,I wanted you guys also to try it. So, here is the recipe.
Ingredients:Chicken- 2 breasts
onion- 1/2 (sliced)
green bell pepper- 1/2 (sliced)
red bell pepper- 1/2 ( sliced)
mushrooms- 5 (sliced)
Pineapple- (canned, drained, cut into big chunks)
You can use babycorn, bamboo shoots or anyother veggies too of your choice.
Thai basil- 6 leaves(I used regular basil)
coconut milk- 1 can
For curry paste:
small red chillies-13 (seeds removed,soaked in water)
shallot-3 tbsp (chopped)
garlic- 4tbsp(chopped)
galangal-1tbsp(thai ginger,chopped)
lemon grass-2 tbsp (I did not get it, so I didn't use it)
kaffir lime rind-2 tsp (I used fresh lime peel)
corriander root- 1 tbsp (I used stems the closest part)
white peppercorns-20
corriander seeds- 1 1/2 tsp(ground,roasted)
Cumin- 1/2 tsp(ground,roasted)
shrimp paste- 1 tsp
sea salt- 1tsp
Procedure:Blend all the ingredients for curry paste with 2 tsp oil and little water. The paste should be smooth and thick. Mix it evenly with coconut milk. Cut chicken into strips and flatten it a little with a hammer. This will tenderize the meat. Heat oil in a kadai and fry chicken until it is no longer pink. Add some salt. Then add all the veggies except pineapple and basil. Stir fry it. When the veggies are half done add the coconut milk mixture and bring it to a boil. Test for salt and chilli level. Add more if you want to. Finally add pineapple and basil. Mix well and serve with white rice or fried rice. Enjoy!!!
One thing before I end this post. I wanted to participate in the "click" event hosted by Bee.
Here is my contribution for the event. Please guys don't laugh. Have a nice day!!! And once again a big "Thankyou". Hugs. :))

Hi Sirisha,
Thanks dear. I'm glad you liked the eggs. Initially, I was so reluctant to post it as I was afraid that people might find it childish. But my little brain couldn't think any further.
Hi Padma,
Thank you so much dear. I'm sure I'll keep blogging more especially with the encouragement I get from bloggers like you. Glad you liked the thai curry and the eggs. Actually, my son got scared looking at it. He didn't want to do anything with it. So, I ended up doing egg curry for our dinner.
Hi Ammu,

Hi Usha,
Thank you sooo much dear. My son's health problems have always wanted me to stop blogging. At the sametime, blogging seems to be the only relaxation for me. The comments I get from bloggers like you makes me feel so good and I just don't want to lose it. As a blogger I know you can understand this. Glad you liked the curry and eggs. I learnt this from a garnishing book long time back. It's not my unique idea. But, thanks anyway.

Really...you think so? Are you trying to make me feel better? Anyway, Thanks dear.
Hi Inji,
what a strange co-incidence? Even I never thought of it. What you said is so much true. My hubby did make fun of me that I'm going to post boiled eggs some day. And, that became true. That too on my 100th post. Ha Ha Ha.:))
I also wanted to say 'thanks' to you for being such an inspiration to me.Hugs.
