What is "yellow curry"?

Yellow curry is a popular Thai curry dish that is made from a blend of spices and herbs such as turmeric, coriander, cumin, lemongrass, and galangal, which gives it a distinct yellow color. The curry paste is typically cooked with coconut milk, vegetables, and a protein such as chicken or tofu, to create a creamy and aromatic sauce with a mild and slightly sweet flavor. The dish is often served with steamed rice or noodles and can be garnished with fresh herbs such as cilantro or basil, as well as crispy fried shallots. Yellow curry is a popular dish in Thailand and can be found in many Thai restaurants and food stalls around the world.
