Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 25

For the green curry paste
½ tsp coriander seeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp white peppercorns
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh galangal (see Know-how)Apple-converted-space
1 lemongrass stalk, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
12 green bird's eye chillies, chopped (see tip)
2 long green chillies, choppedApple-converted-space
4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander root or stems
1 garlic clove, chopped
2cm piece fresh turmeric, chopped
Finely grated zest 1 kaffir lime (optional; see Know-how)
1 tsp shrimp paste (see Know-how)
For the curry
2 tbsp vegetable oil
400ml tin coconut milk
350g free-range skinless, boneless chicken thighs, roughly chopped
2-4 Thai round aubergines, quartered (see Know-how)
2 tbsp fish sauce
65g pea aubergines (optional; see Know-how)
100g tinned bamboo shoots, drained, plus extra to serve
2 long green chilliesApple-converted-space
Handful fresh Thai basil leaves (see Know-how)
Handful fresh coriander (optional)

Steps:

  • Pound the green curry paste ingredients in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt, starting with the hardest ones, as listed, working down to the softest, until you have a uniform, close-textured paste (see box, left, and Make Ahead).
  • To make the curry, heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok and fry the curry paste over a medium heat until it smells fragrant. Add half the coconut milk, then bring to the boil slowly, stirring to dissolve the paste. Once the paste has dissolved, turn down the heat and let the coconut milk simmer until you see oil appearing on the surface. Stir in 200ml cold water, then turn up the heat to bring the curry to the boil again.
  • Add the chicken and Thai round aubergines, then the remaining coconut milk. Bring back to the boil, then simmer for 6 minutes. Add the fish sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning - it should taste hot, salty and herbaceous. If the curry is too thick, add a little extra water. You want soupiness, not a thick gravy.
  • Add the pea aubergines (if using), bamboo shoots and the long green chillies. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the aubergines are just tender. Taste and season again.
  • Top with the Thai basil, coriander (if using) and extra bamboo shoots. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

8 Garlic cloves - minced
5-7 Red Chilies (preferably Thai/Bird's Eye Chilies), to taste - chopped
2 Green Chilies (preferably Thai/Bird's Eye Chilies), to taste - chopped
6 Baby Corn pieces - halved
2 medium Russet Potatoes - skinned and diced into bite sized pieces
1/3 Large Red Chili - deseeded, sliced (reserve half for garnish if desired - optional)
2 Chicken Breasts (about 400g), boneless, skinless - thinly sliced
2 sprigs Coriander - stems chopped, leaves reserved for garnish
4 Kaffir Lime Leaves
1 bunch (a little over 1 cup) Thai Sweet Basil Leaves (reserve a few leaves from the bunch for garnish)
2-4 Thai Dried Red Chilies, to taste (optional)
½ TBLS Chili Oil (optional)
1 TBLS Olive Oil
1-4 TBLS Thai Green Curry Paste (I use Mae Ploy's Green Curry Paste)
2 TSP Fish Sauce
1 (50g) disc Coconut Sugar (you can use 1 TBLS crystalized Coconut or Brown Sugar if you have that on hand instead) - chopped into quarters
½ - ¾ TBLS ground Thai Red Chili Pepper, to taste (optional)
565ml Coconut Milk (I used 1 large and 1 small can)
Reserved coriander leaves
Reserved Thai sweet basil leaves
Reserved large red chili slices (optional)
A drizzle of juice from a freshly squeezed lime (optional)
Steamed white rice, rice noodles, garlic bread, etc.

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Skin and dice the potatoes into bite sized pieces. Toss in the potatoes and cook them for 5-6 minutes. They should become slightly tender but not completely soft since they will finish off cooking in the curry. Drain the water and set aside.
  • While the pot of water is coming to a boil/the potatoes are parboiling, chop up all the other fresh ingredients as indicated in the ingredients list: the garlic, red and green chilies, baby corn, large red chili, chicken breasts, coriander, and coconut sugar disc. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil and chili oil (if using) in a wok or pot over high heat. Add the curry paste and fry for a minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken and sauté with the curry paste for 1 -2 minutes. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and is well coated with the paste.
  • Add in the garlic, red and green chilies, baby corn, chopped coriander stem, and sliced strips of the large red chilies. Sauté for 30-40 seconds.
  • Reduce to medium-high heat and stir in 200ml of the coconut milk. Let simmer for a minute and then add the remaining coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, coconut palm sugar, Thai dried red chilies and ground Thai red chili pepper (if using). Stir to combine.
  • Add the potatoes and stir. Then, reduce to medium heat and cover the wok with a lid. Let simmer for 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and give the curry a stir to make sure the coconut sugar has dissolved and blended into the curry.
  • Turn up the stove to high heat again and stir in the Thai sweet basil leaves.
  • Let simmer for a further 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat and remove to a dish.
  • Garnish with the reserved coriander, Thai sweet basil leaves, and large red chili slices. Drizzle juice from a freshly squeezed lime over the curry if desired. Serve with warm steamed white rice, rice noodles, or garlic bread, etc.

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large shallots, peeled and quartered
10 Thai bird's eye chile peppers, seeded and chopped
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
½ bunch fresh cilantro
½ bunch fresh basil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
2 limes, zested and juiced

½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 boneless chicken breasts, cubed

2 kaffir lime leaves

Steps:

  • Combine shallots, bird's eye chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, basil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, lime zest, lime flesh, lemon juice, sesame oil, and pepper in a food processor. Process, adding enough olive oil to make a paste that is thick but not thick enough to form peaks when you stir it.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and fry curry paste, stirring constantly, until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until chicken has sealed on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour coconut milk and chicken stock into the saucepan with the chicken; mix well. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until liquid has reduced to a thick sauce that clings to a spoon, 20 to 30 minutes. Add kaffir lime leaves and simmer for 1 more minute.

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons coconut oil, separated
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into thin slices
2 thai green chilis, sliced lengthwise
1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 shallot, small, sliced thinly
1 ½ cups red bell pepper, sliced thinly
5 broccolini stalks, split lengthwise if large so they are relatively the same size
10 sugar snap peas, split open
1 large carrot, sliced in thin rounds
1 green onion, sliced on a bias (keep green ends for garnish)
3 tablespoons thai green curry paste, (found in the International aisle at the grocery store)

fresh basil, thai, if you can find it
lime, to taste, fresh squeezed
salt, to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
cucumber, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a wok or deep skillet. Add chicken thighs to the pan and cook for a few minutes until almost cooked all the way. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and add the green chilies, shallot, bell peppers, carrots, green onions. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add the ginger and garlic. Cook for another minute until everything gets fragrant. Vegetables should still be crunchy.

Stir in the basil leaves a few seconds before serving.
  • Serve hot over jasmine rice. Top with all the garnishes - red Thai peppers, green onions, cucumbers, more basil and a squeeze of lime.

THAI GREEN CURRY CHICKEN

This is my way of cheating.I love curry pastes from the grocery. Such an ideal time saver. You can make this as spicy as you like by adding more of the Thai Kitchen's green curry paste. We serve this dish over rice or rice noodles and with pappadums and assorted pickles and chutney.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your curry the best flavor. If you can, use fresh Thai chilies, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: This recipe is for a very spicy curry, but you can adjust the heat level to your liking. If you want a milder curry, use fewer Thai chilies or omit them altogether. You can also add more coconut milk to cool down the heat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bamboo shoots, green beans, and bell peppers, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include carrots, broccoli, and snow peas.
  • Make sure your curry is thick and creamy: A good Thai green curry should be thick and creamy. If your curry is too thin, add more coconut milk or cornstarch. You can also simmer the curry for a longer period of time to thicken it up.
  • Serve with jasmine rice: Thai green curry is traditionally served with jasmine rice. Jasmine rice is a fragrant, long-grain rice that pairs perfectly with the spicy curry.
