Red curry is the original Thai curry; the paste is made from sundried red chilies (red sundried Anaheim pepper).
The original version was made with water (Gaeng Phet bpaa Wild Red curry) instead of coconut milk. If you don’t like coconut, use cooking oil instead of coconut cream, and replace coconut milk with water.
