Just as there are no standard recipes for curry paste and every family in Thailand has its own recipe, so it is with the curry itself. So don’t be guided too much by the recipe and dare to vary.
For example, replace the snow peas and beans with sugar snaps or green peas. If you prefer a vegetarian recipe, replace the chicken thigh fillet with jackfruit or tofu.
The snow peas and green beans are stewed in the curry, so they do not remain as green. If you want to keep it more green and crispier, blanch the vegetables beforehand.
If you are not a fan of coconut milk, replace it with cooking cream or vegetable broth.
What does Thai green curry taste like?
For this recipe we made the green curry paste ourselves. Thai green curry paste is generally considered the spiciest of the three known curry pastes: red, yellow and green.
That’s because the spicy green peppers are used. Of course you can adjust the amount of peppers to your own level of spiciness or replace the green peppers with jalapeno pepper.
Despite the spiciness, it is also a very refreshing curry due to the use of a lot of fresh coriander, Thai basil and lime juice.
