Re curry (Thai แกงเผ็ด; IPA: [kɛːŋ pʰet]) (lit: spicy curry) is a popular Thai dish based on coconut milk heated with red curry paste and fish sauce. Red curry dishes may include ingredients such as kaffir lime leaves or peel, Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, thai basil, and some sort of meat such as chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, or more often duck. Tofu or Meat analogues can be substituted as a vegetarian option. This dish normally has a thick, soup-like consistency and is served in a bowl with a side of rice. As red curry paste generally contains shrimp paste, it is not suitable for vegetarians. Although Panang and Gaeng Ped are red colored curries, they aren't called "Red Curry".
