Thai Green Curry

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

Thai green curry. Very simple and enjoyable.

"First time thai eater, didn't want a ready meal or kit as they never taste quite the same and didn't want to be put off for life. Decided to make this from scratch after reading these reviews and glad I did. It was really nice and not at all what I expected. Even better I have frozen half so the next time I have a takeaway moment I'll be reaching for the freezer instead of the phone. Thanks " - Leanabean123

Servings          
Original recipe makes 4 Servings
1 tablespoonVegetable oil
green curry paste; (according to taste)
1 tablespoonsoft dark brown sugar
1 stalkslemongrass; fat ends bashed with a rolling pin (optional)
750 gramsskinless, boneless chicken; cut into chunks (use breast and/or leg meat)
lime zest; to taste
400 ozcoconut milk
dropThai fish sauce; or light soy sauce
small handfullcoriander; roughly chopped
1 lime; juice only; ( up to 1 1/2)

Thai Green Curry Preparation

1. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the green curry paste and sugar and cook over a fairly high heat for about a minute, stirring with the lemongrass, if using. Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the chicken pieces and lime leaves or zest until coated in the paste. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce or soy sauce and bring to a simmer, cooking for 25-30 minutes until thickened slightly. Stir in the coriander and lime juice. Check for seasoning, adding more fish sauce or soy sauce if needed.

2. The curry is now best left to sit for a few minutes so the sauce becomes creamier. You will also taste the true flavors of the curry paste ingredients when it's slightly cooler. Serve with lots of fragrant Thai jasmine rice.

    Yummy! We add thinly sliced carrots, courgette (zucchini) and julienne peppers. Lately also add bamboo shoots. Easy to follow recipe. Thanks for sharing. A firm and regular favourite in our house!!

    Absolutely fantastic!! Wow!!! I used lemongrass paste and it was delicious, also added snow peas, bean sprouts and mushrooms to bulk it up. So easy to make! This is my new exotic go to recipe! Delicate sauce, perfect to put on basmati rice

    This turned out perfect. As mentioned, it is 400 ml or 1 can of coconut milk. I added lots of veggies and served over pad Thai noodles.

    I tried this last night and it was nice. The only thing I didn't really like was that it was quite runny/watery and not very creamy or saucy. Will try again with my own little adaptations :-)

    I purchase Thai green curry from my local take away, I am in love with the one they make however looks like this one has bested takeaway, it's simple and easy and takes no time at all, and for a cook that loses concentration quickly, I suggest you go for this recipe (:

    Easy to make, and super yummy. I used 500 ml coconut - amount in recipe has to be a typo. Will make again and again!
    1 years, 5 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 25 minutes ago
    I used 500ml of coconut milk with 1kg of chicken. 400oz is definitely a bit much.

    Is 400 oz. of coconut milk correct?

    Very easy dish great flavor especially with thai chilis
    1 years, 12 months, 3 days, 10 hours, 4 minutes ago
    Fantastically high taste to effort ratio. This is a very low effort, very high taste recipe. Honestly, most Thai restaurants serve food that is way too greasy for me. This was very low grease and high flavor.
