Thai Green Curry

Things that make a good Thai Green Curry:

Green Curry paste
Of course, two table spoons
Coconut Milk
1 can at least.
2 if you like extra sauce or are making a bigger batch, or just like it really creamy.
Full fat.
Kafir Leaves
I freeze them because I can't use a bag of leaves in the time it takes for them to go bad.
Lemon Grass
I cut them into 2 inch pieces and crush one end with the flat of my knife. This gets the flavour out but holds them together in the pot.
Fish Sauce
1 or 2 tablespoons.
Salt
None is no good, use some, not lots.
Sugar
One heaping tablespoon. Ideally brown.


Optionally Thai Eggplant.

From there you can choose bunch of different things for protein and/or bulk:

Proteins:

  • Tofu yes, paneer no, paneer melts.
  • chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp are fine.

Veggies:

  • Carrots
  • Red Pepper
  • Potato
  • Onion, red or coking, not sweet.
  • Mushroom cut into quarters
  • Eggplant ( non-thai )
