Not only was this meal extremely tasty, it also cured a cold I had for almost a month! In case you have trouble finding a few ingredients, here are a few substitution suggestions: Sub 4-5 tbspns ginger for the laos powder Sub 1/2 tspon anchovy paste mixed in 1/8 cup warm water for fish sauce. Sub store bought curry powder for curry paste (but finely chop up 6 serrano chiles and simmmer in hydrated sauce for 8-10 minutes)Â

Great Thai Green Curry, and again, your curry paste is great too. This curry was very fresh tasting, and nice and spicy. I used chicken thighs in this which I think add a nice flavor to the broth. It was a big hit with my family last night. I think it makes a big difference to make the paste yourself, so don't skip this step people! It doesn't take more than a few minutes, and you can do it a few days ahead if you need to. Thanks for another great recipe L4C!Â

This was our main meal tonight...it was delicious. I did change a couple of things - I used my own green curry paste (though when I run out I will give yours a try), I stir-fried the paste for a minute or so then added the chicken and stir-fried until it was sealed, then added 400ml coconut milk and 1 cup chicken stock (trying to reduce the calories). I also added 1/2 bunch of chopped coriander at the end. Served with jasmine rice and lime wedges.Â

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
