Full of Thai red curry paste and aromatics, they’re easy to prepare and cook quickly, making them ideal for relaxed summer evenings. Serve them on toasted buns with a simple slaw or fresh greens, and add a squeeze of lime and sweet chilli sauce for an extra burst of flavour. For kids or those who prefer less spice, you can easily reduce the heat by using less red curry paste.
