Using Thai basil leaves will also be ok as it is needed for the traditional green curry anyway. Add salt accordingly, I added in about ½ tsp. They will smell amazing and dry frying them will enhance them.
Pounding all the ingredients is the hardest part of making green curry
To pound Thai green curry paste, you’ll need a good stone mortar and pestle, and you can toss in the ingredients however you like, just making sure all the ingredients are added, and that they are all pounded together.
The only ingredient in this Thai green curry paste to leave out until the end of the pounding is the shrimp paste, which you’ll add at the very end.
Keep on pounding and pounding!
This is by far the most time consuming part of this recipe — it took me about 1.5 hours to pound this green curry paste — but I can assure you the end result will be worth every minute of pounding and every drop of sweat.
NOTE: You could use a food processor to make Thai green curry paste much faster, and that would work well and would still be better than buying canned green curry paste.
With fresh herbs, tender chicken, and a fragrant coconut sauce, this curry delivers a true taste of Thailand. It's time-consuming but this is how green curry paste is traditionally made — BUT if you don't have time, you can process this in a blender or food processor until it's a fine paste. Your perfectly cooked vermicelli noodles are now ready to be served with your delicious curry dish.Note 2: Thank you so much for visiting my blog!
But if you like sweeter curry, feel free to add some palm sugar for seasoning.
Additionally, when my mother in law and I made this pot of green curry, we added only about 1/2 tsp. If making from scratch, combine all the ingredients under "Homemade Green Curry Paste" (except shrimp paste which you'll add at the very end) in a stone mortar and pestle.
This is just one of them.
Stir the mixture and let it simmer for a minute. One good measure of a Thai curry paste is that you shouldn't see any chili seeds remaining in your paste, they should all be pounded out.
Authentic Thai Green Curry Chicken Ingredients 1 lb chicken thigh 4 Tbsp green curry paste 1 tsp coconut oil 800 mL coconut milk (200 mL thick/creamy and 600 mL regular coconut milk) 1-1.5 Tbsp sugar (palm sugar) 3-4 Tbsp fish sauce 1-2 cans bamboo shoots or 1-2 cups Thai egg plants, winter squash, baby corn, and zucchini 4-5 Makrut lime leaves 1 handful Thai basil Some sweet red peppers (julienned for garnish) Note : If using some UNCOOKED chicken feet in this curry, you will need to use more coconut milk and curry paste to 1000 mL coconut milk and 5 tablespoons green curry paste .
Stir it around so that it helps dissolve the curry paste.
If using store-bought green curry paste, add 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp fish sauce.
First, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Moreover, you will need to cut the chicken thigh a little bit bigger than bite size so that it won’t get too small. (This will depend on your preference but I usually end up adding 2 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp fish sauce).
Simmered in creamy coconut milk with fresh herbs and your choice of protein, it creates a rich, fragrant curry that tingles the senses. Allow the noodles to sit, covered, for 20 minutes. So the greenness comes from green chilies.
The green chilies are bird’s eye chilies, but only the green ones are used for this recipe.
One more thing I’d like to point out is that in Thai, green curry is known as gaeng keow wan (แกงเขียวหวาน), which directly translates to curry green sweet, so this is typically known throughout Thailand as a sweeter tasting curry, rather than a spicy curry like for example southern Thai yellow curry.
Some recipes add extra sugar to make green curry sweeter, but other traditional Thai green curry recipes just rely on the coconut cream to provide the sweetness — I prefer the latter without adding extra sugar.
