Easy Thai Green Curry Recipe
Thai green curry is a variety of curry from Thailand using coconut milk and
fresh green chillies.
This recipe in particular is for those who are after something super simple, a
quick to throw together meal - and this bad boy takes just over half an hour to
get on the table.
You can of course make your curry paste totally from scratch - and we admire you
if you do - but we've opted for shop-bought here for ease.
As for the protein, we've used chicken, but you can also use fish, or even tofu
to make it veggie. Thai aubergine and basil leaves are the traditional
vegetables used, but we've gone for a combination of mangetout, baby sweetcorn
and bamboo shoots.
If you're wanting a Thai curry dish that's a bit more hands on, you HAVE to give
our Thai Red Curry a go. The curry paste for this dish is incredible but
requires a little more effort, and a few more ingredients to make totally from
scratch. But it is WORTH IT.
