I have never made homemade green curry before, it was very easy to do. This recipe took a lot of time to prepare, but was well worth the effort. The curry was fresh and raw tasting. The coconut rice was perfect. Together they created a lovely meal. Made exactly as written except that I omitted the green beans, as mine were no longer good. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe I'mPat.
