Red or green curry?

Not sure what to use?

Simply, the difference between red and green curry is the colour of the chillies used to make the paste. Red curry uses red chillies, and green uses green chillies. Overall red curry can be a bit spicier and stronger than green curry. There are many different types of curry pastes on the market. Orange, yellow and Massaman curry are great alternatives.
