Red Thai Tofu Curry
SERVES 8

INGREDIENTS:
Of the four main types of Thai curries, the red curry is usually the hottest. That's because of the sublime usage of chili garlic paste as the main ingredient and coloring.

Other types of thai curry include green, (made with fresh herbs and spices) yellow (colored with turmeric), and Massaman (made with dried chilies).

Other vegetables you could use for this recipe include eggplant, baby corn, fresh peas, and thai basil.
