here are two main styles of cooking Thai chuchee curry, one includes coconut milk while the other doesn’t. The onc in the picture obviously includes coconut milk in the sauce, but both ways are delicious.
The curry is flavored with garlic, turmeric root and simmer kaffir lime leaves. Normally chuchee curry is made with mackerel fish and it’s common to be eaten as a khao rad gaeng (rice topped with a choice of different dishes) dish.
