Authentic Thai recipe for Red Curry with Bamboo Shoots and Coconut Milk

แกงหน่อไม้กะทิ (Kaeng Nor Mai Ga Tee)

This Kaeng Nor Mai is typical of the type served in Central Thailand. Having a soup base made with red curry and coconut milk (Ga Tee), it is completely different than the Kaeng Nor Mai from Northeastern Thailand's Isaan region which is usually green and is made with strong fresh herbs that give the soup an almost medicinal character. In this version you'll enjoy juicy chunks of chicken thigh meat, a smooth and creamy texture, and deliciously exotic flavors from lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, dry roasted cumin, coriander, and peppercorns.
