Easy Thai Green Curry

Submitted by SarahCKS

"This is one of my favorite curry recipes. It is incredibly easy but tastes like it took hours to make. It's a great starter curry for anyone looking to venture into the world of curry cookery for the first time. This is a versatile recipe; I've made it with both chicken or red meat, so I leave the meat choice up to the chef."

This was good, but missing something. We added a little sugar, I think it needs fish sauce too. Simple but not quite what we were looking for.
