Straight off the hob Thai green curry recipe. Better than a jar sauce with wonderful Thai aromas. Chicken Thai green curry is the truly iconic Thai recipe that anyone who likes Thai food loves! This dish is so many things to so many Thai food lovers; its creamy, spicy, has beautiful colour, vibrancy and texture and can be enjoyed by the whole family. What more can you ask for?
If you want to make your own green curry paste it is very simple, but some of us don’t plan that far ahead (that’s me) or just like a nice home cooked recipe to be a little easier as we’re not all Jamie Oliver! To save time on the night you want your green curry, you can make it a day or two before (or over the weekend) and pop it in the fridge and then add it to this recipe.
