Easy Thai Recipes For Weight Watchers

These easy Thai recipes are tasty, with a great combination of spicy, salty, sweet and sour flavours. Thai cuisine includes a range of ingredients with coconut milk being commonly used. However you can substitute light evaporated milk instead to keep your dishes low in fat. Most curries in Thai recipes are built on a basic curry paste, which is red, yellow or green in colour, depending on the ingredients used. These curry pastes are easy to make, but can also be bought ready made from the Thai food section of your local supermarket. See the section below the main recipe for instructions on how to make a yellow curry paste. You can find more detail on the spices used in the Healthy Spices section of this website.
