Thai Green Curry is one of my favorite favorite dishes! I love this recipe because it's so versatile and I am a true green curry critic (and addict). I've made this recipe a few times already and I've tweaked to perfection, and now I enjoy making it at home more than eating it at my favorite Thai restaurant. I add 4 cloves of minced garlic to the shallots and ginger; and for the vegetables I skip the bamboo shoots (not a fan) and instead use 1 green bell pepper, an eggplant, and half cup of peas. I also use 3tbsp of curry paste, an additional half can of coconut milk, a bit more water, and about 4 shots of fish sauce. During the simmer phase I threw in a bunch of Thai basil and 2tbsp of cayenne and 6 red thai chillies chopped... gimme some heat! Thanks for posting a recipe that you really can make your own!

Great flavor. I used some cooked potatoes and carrots, with green onions, and sliced red chiles. I also used a lot more curry paste. I doubled the recipe for my family. Next time maybe a little less broth.

Easy to prepare and quite tasty. Excellent recipe for a quick go at this sort of dish. I used rotisserie chicken for the meat. Fresh basil and the fresh lime juice on finish complete the flavours. I think I'll add some sliced carrot next time.

Fabulous recipe! I added a few more types of vegetables so that it was so bare and a little extra curry because I like it extra zesty! I would recommend trying this dish!!

Delicious! I didn't really care for the bamboo shoots but other than that is was fantastic. I will most definitely be making again!
