4 servings Thai yellow curry tends to be milder than green or red curry and uses nam prik gaeng karee, or yellow curry paste. The vegetables in yellow chicken curry are simple—just potatoes and onions—but you can, of course, add other vegetables to the mix, including Thai eggplant, zucchini, or bell pepper. Red curry paste may be substituted for the yellow, if desired. For a similar noodle dish that uses bone-in chicken, see Khao Soi Gai.
