Notes

Vegan curry paste
Thai curry pastes traditionally contain shrimp paste. But vegan curry pastes are now widely available. Just make sure to check the ingredient list when you buy, or look for the words "suitable for vegans" on the label.
Separation of oil
It's normal for some oil to separate out and float on top of the curry. Depending on the type of coconut milk you use, your finished curry may separate more or less.
