Green curry

Green curry recipes are believed to have originated in Thailand, where they are still a popular dish. The first green curry recipe is thought to date back to the 13th century. It is made with green chillies, coconut milk, fish sauce and lime juice.

Green curry is usually served with rice and a protein, such as chicken, shrimp or tofu. It is a popular dish in Thai restaurants and is often made at home in Thailand.

Green curry is a relatively recent addition to the Thai curry repertoire. It is thought to have been developed in the early 20th century, when Thai cooks were influenced by Indian and Chinese cuisine.

Advice

Making a delicious green curry dish is easy and rewarding! Start by preparing all the ingredients you'll need: quality green curry paste, coconut milk, garlic, onion, vegetables, and protein. Then, heat up a wok or large pan with a small amount of oil and cook the garlic and onion until they are fragrant. Add the curry paste and stir-fry until the ingredients are evenly coated. Next, add the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer the curry for a few minutes before adding the vegetables and protein. When the vegetables and protein are cooked, add fish sauce and brown sugar to taste. Lastly, garnish with fresh herbs and serve your delicious green curry. Enjoy!
