This looks great - going to make this tonight!
Do add 2cm of fresh galangal root while pureeing the spice paste for added authentic flavour. Three-quarter teaspoon of powdered galangal could replace it if fresh roots are not available.
Hi Ed - glad you liked it - will definately try the French beans for crunch and colour - sound interesting?!
My recipe is just like this - love it - I like to add some French beans for crunch and lovely colour - thanks Kenny
Hi Kyri - glad you liked it - my kids are a bit young to apreciate a fine Green Curry, but the wife and I certainly love it! - Regards Kenny
Hi, great recipe! I added a touch of fish sauce, and like someone else said, I'd probably cut out one lime, but my whole family loved it (and so did I).
Thanks!
I dunno i guess my favourite is sushi or sashimi or pasta.
Fish sauce?
Hi Dom - no problem, glad you like it, it is certainly one of my favourite dishes - whats yours?
omg omg OMG!!!! I LOVE Thai green curry and this - is - AMAZING! Seriously an awesome recipe. Everyone should try this even if they don't like curry and I guarantee they would love it! Thanks for submitting this recipe! This is one I'm going to keep using for years!
Hi Shal - it' got to be chocolate cake please. Nothing beats a good chockie Cake.....! BTW hope yor dad is on the mend - best regards - kenny
Hi Nichat - Ok sounds interesting. How do you know this? Have you got a full Thai Curry recipe you can put up to show me. Ill try your additions and see if it improves it - thanks.
Sorry the recipe tastes nice but not really authentic. I believe a recipe for Thai Green Curry must include palm sugar, Thai Aubergine/Pea Aubergine and Fish Sauce to taste.
Hi Kenny - sorry haven't been on here for a while - Dad in hsopital and I have been running around here, there and everywhere. What sort of recipe would you like?? Cake or chocolate or maybe a chocolate cake? Shal
Such a great recipe, absolutely loved it. With curries it is all about the paste and this has got it down to a t.
MMM, oh Kenny, thankyou! I've been looking for a good thai chicken recipe for ages, this looks amazing. You've clearly gone to a lot of trouble to add the individual ingredients (it annoys me when you simply get "curry powder" in there). Please have a look at my naga recipe, I am starting to grow my own nagas as they may be fiery but they have a very subtle floral overtone too. Will try them in this dish.
Hi Shal - most excellent! You clearly like your food a bit more spicy. Of course in Thailand the green curry tends to blow your head off. I find that the limes cool it all down a bit without loosing the chili kick. I see from your profile you like curry, chocolate, bread and cake. So come on give me one of your best recipes to try... please :-) - Regards Kenny
Hi Kenny - Just thought I would let you know that I did reduce the limes by one and upped the chillies a little - perfect!!! Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe.
Hi Shal, glad you liked it. Yes, the limes can be very overpowering...these can certainly be altered to taste, it's just a question of getting the balance right. Regards Kenny.
This is a wonderful recipe. I will cut the limes down by one next time though, as hubby thought the lime overpowered the other tastes. But very very tasty and easy. I am making it again tomorrow.
This is fantastic. It smells so nice when its cooking. Remember to take the seeds out the chillies :)
