Yesterday was red. Today is green. ?
If you’ve missed out on my earlier recipe post, check out my Thai Red Curry Recipe.
I’ve cooked and eaten Thai curries for two days back to back which I don’t mind because it’s a real time saver to use the Maepranom brand of curry pastes – very convenient to cook with especially when I’m so tied up with work assignments lately and I’m always in a rush to churn out dinners on time. Also, these curries always taste good so that’s a big plus. ??
Both my red and green curry recipes are almost the same. The only one difference is that there is addition of fresh green chillies in the red curry but not in this green curry. That is actually more for garnishing purpose (to add contrast of colours) because the green chillies used aren’t very spicy so they don’t really affect the overall taste of the curry. If you like, you can also add some green chillies to this Thai Green Curry Recipe.
You’ll definitely need rice to go with these curries. Enjoy! ?
