One of the nations favourite curries. Try our fragrant and delicious Thai Green Curry.
Thai food is the new Indian - it has swiftly become a favourite across the nation over the past few years. And while you'll still see a curry on a Thai restaurant menu, it's likely to be a bit different to that of your local Indian. Thai curries are generally creamy and fragrant, with a hit of sweetness and spice. And of all the options available, Thai green curry has to be one of the most popular. Thai green curry is a quick, easy and economical recipe.
It's mild and creamy and ideal for either a midweek meal or a special supper. Using a ready-made curry paste saves a lot of time but will still give a really authentic and fragrant flavour. If you can't find fish sauce (also called nam pla) then add a splash of light soy sauce. And if you like your spice feel free to add some chopped or sliced chillies to the dish.
We like red chillies for their vivid colour and hint of sweetness but green would work too. Instead of the chicken you could use chunks of lean pork fillet or for a seafood version use 450g white fish fillet, cut into chunks and 150g large peeled tiger prawns and simmer for only 10-15 mins.
