Thai green curry chicken main


"This authentic Thai dish is made up of fragrant combination of cilantro, lemongrass, garlic, and chilies that make Thai green curry paste. Cooking a pot of green curry dish will surely fill your home with a pleasant spicy aroma. You may either manufacture your own green curry paste at home or get it from a grocery shop with a good selection. Thai green curry dishes will bring a touch of foreign flair to your dinner table like the one we are cooking today. They are perfectly hot, but also have a bit of sweetness and lots of creaminess."


MORE ABOUT THAI GREEN CURRY

Thai green curry, literally "sweet-green curry" is a Central Thai variety of curry. Due of the green chilies that give the dish its color, curry is sometimes known as "green" curry. The word "sweet" in the Thai name, "wan," relates to the specific shade of green rather than the flavor of the curry. Since this is a Thai curry made with fresh green chilies and coconut milk, the hue is a light, creamy green that is also known as "sweet green" in Thai.


Its components aren't quite set in stone. The curry tends to be more pungent than the gentler red curries, even if it can vary in spiciness. It is not always sweeter than other Thai curries. Between 1908 and 1926, under the reign of King Rama VI or Rama VII, green curry saw significant development.





RECIPE PROPER

This particular curry paste is very versatile. You can actually create more than a dozen types of dish from it such as chicken, seafood, tofu, meat, meatballs, etc. just to name a few. In this particular recipe, we are going to make an authentic chicken dish. However, I do not have much of the spices available in the local market, and I do not have the proper mortar and pestle to grind and mix all the spices needed to make the green curry paste. And so that is why I just bought the canned version and added some coconut milk to enhance the flavor. The result was very excellent though. I just had a wonderful time serving the dish and eating dinner with my family that night. So come on and join me… Let’s cook this dish together!
