Thai Red Chicken Curry ( Using ingredients from Foodhall )

I've always been fascinated by gourmet food stores and loved when I first visited Foodhall last year. The range of product available in this store is remarkable and you can find all things gourmet under one roof.  Be it the variety of cheeses or various type of pastry sheets, fruits that are otherwise not available anywhere else or the spice mixes you have been looking for all around, Foodhall have them all. 

Foodhall, a unit of Future Group is premier lifestyle food destination with stores in Bangalore, NCR, Mumbai and Pune. Having traveled through the continents, I could easily relate to the stuff they sell in their aisles appealing to international cuisine lovers as well as Indian foodies. Foodhall is an absolute delight to visit and a must do for every food lover. So when I got a bag full of goodies from Foodhall, I was quite excited and to add to the excitements, the goodies were perfect to create a fabulous Thai Meal for two of us. 

I treated my family with a Thai red chicken curry paired with Jasmine rice while the black bean sauce and Tom Yum soup will make an upcoming day special for us. Special thanx to Saina, who very thoughtfully packed the goodie bag and made it very special for us. Here is how I made the Thai Red Chicken Curry.
