I love Google Translations, both because it's servicable, but also because it can be simply hilarious. After seeing so many Thai green curry recipes on the net with ingredients or methods that seem to have gone through an equivalent of a translation machine, let me offer how we do it. More important, this is the most requested recipe by you, our readers.  

Thai green curry with chicken was a classic take-me-to-the-temple curry. Patrons would bring green curry with chicken (chicken with bones, chicken blood and gizzard) and eggplants to offer to the monks at temples. My family was not a big fan on chicken blood and gizzard, so I'll leave those out.

Thai green curry is fiery hot with a hint of sweetness. The curry paste is made with fresh green Thai chili peppers.  Some people even add additional whole fresh pepper to the curry before serving. I'll stick with mild green curry, so I made my own curry paste.

2-3 Servings, Prep Time: 25 Minutes, Total Time: 25 Minutes

Tips and Techniques

  • Some brands of green curry paste can be very spicy hot. Start with one tablespoon first before increasing the amount.
  • Green curry should not be sweet like dessert but should have a hint of sweet.
  • If you curry paste is old or not quite green, add a few ground  fresh pepper leaves in.  If fresh pepper leaves are not available, use mild leafy green instead. This will give you beautiful fresh green without the heat like chili pepper would.
