Thai Green Curry Chicken

Thai Green Curry Chicken is one of Thailand’s most popular curries. It's an easy and extremely delicious curry with Chicken cooked in rich coconut curry sauce. Its called “Gang Kiew Wan” in the local language. This curry is Green in colour mainly because of the preparation of Green curry paste. It definitely has myriad of flavours starting from sweet, spicy and aromatic. Usually for this curry, the first process is to make the aromatic green curry paste which is then later blended together with the coconut milk, kaffir limes leave, vegetables of your choice and Chicken. Kaffir Lime leaves promote the curry to the next level giving it that integral flavour. So if you prepare this curry, never miss out on the Kaffir Lime leaves. If you are a vegetarian, we would recommend you to use vegetables of your choice and you can also use Tofu. Thai green curry is so delicious, especially when served with steaming jasmine rice.
