Khmer Red Chicken Curry

Khmer Red Chicken Curry is a traditional Cambodian dish often served during special occasions, weddings, or festivals. Unlike Thai curries, it is less spicy and more fragrant, highlighting lemongrass, coconut milk, and a mild red curry paste. It’s hearty, slightly sweet, and usually eaten with fresh baguette (a French influence), steamed rice, or rice noodles.
