There really is just nothing quite like a good Thai Green Curry...
And I absolutely love Thai green chicken curry - so much so, that I have
included no less than five variations of it,
a couple of which have a special place in my heart! (You may not be surprised to
learn that I have more Thai green curry recipes which don't involve
chicken...they will also be posted!)
Green curry is the most classic of all Thai curries. It generally
thinner, hotter and more pungent than red curries. My recipe for making
your own green curry paste is here (and is what is used for
the purposes of calorie counting below). You could however buy a ready
made curry paste – if you do, I would suggest buying a decent quality
one such as “Thai Taste” brand, (which is available from oriental supermarkets and Ocado,
Sainsbury’s etc. in the UK) and following the instructions on the
packaging (generally 1 tbsp per serving).
Unlike some curries, this is
actually incredibly easy to make – you just fry the curry paste, add the
coconut milk and sauce ingredients, then drop in the chicken (and vegetables) for a few minutes until cooked.
That’s pretty much it, so do have a go – you can’t go far wrong!
From 348 calories per serving between two (see variation 1, which is pictured), or from 178 calories per serving between four as part of a meal.
