Mae Ja's Hints and Tips for perfecting your Thai masterpiece!

• Taste test regularly and adjust the seasoning as you go along to suit your preference. to do this simply follow this:
  Too spicy = Add more sugar
  Too sweet = Add more fish sauce
  Too fishy / salty = Add more coconut milk / water
  Too wet = Add half a teaspoon of diluted cornflour
  Too thick = add more coconut milk or water

• Explore different protein and vegetable options to personalize your curry.
• Do experiment with the level of spiciness to your liking by adjusting the curry paste or adding chopped fresh chillies.
• Don't rush the cooking process; let the flavors develop by simmering.
• Don't check the spiciness on your infant children; this will only end badly for all involved!
• Plate up the curry in your favourite bowl and garnish the top with a few drops of any leftover coconut milk and a couple of fresh basil leaves perched on top!
