Raisukaree Curry, often called Yellow Curry, is a pleasing and fragrant Thai curry with a completely unique twist. It is a harmonious combo of Thai and Indian culinary influences, resulting in a flavorful dish it really is each creamy and fragrant.
This is my simple and healthy version of Raisukaree, Wagamama’s favorite dish. Chicken, shrimp or tofu – all options can be found below.
This is what I usually order when visiting everyone’s favorite Japanese high street restaurant – unless I like ginger chicken udon. You probably know by now that I’m not a calorie counter. To me, it’s more about balance, although when I first shared this recipe, a lot of people told me it wasn’t the healthiest dish.
That’s why I tried to make this version as healthy as possible without compromising on taste. I did a quick calculation on an app and estimated it was about 600 calories per serving, including rice and full-fat coconut milk.
