Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 x 400g cans coconut milk
3 tbsp green curry paste (see 'Goes well with' recipe below - you will need more if you buy ready-made paste)
800g skinless chicken thigh , each thigh cut into three
6 lime leaves , stalks removed, shredded
3 lemongrass stalks, outer leaves removed and inner stalk finely chopped
25g galangal , sliced
1 tbsp palm sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
handful pea aubergines or ½ aubergine , diced
small bunch Thai basil

Steps:

  • Scrape the thick, fatty part of the coconut milk into a warm wok. Cook it slowly, stirring all the time, until it starts to bubble and sizzle and just begins to split. Add the green curry paste and cook for 3-4 mins until the paste starts to release the true smell of South-east Asia.
  • Add the chicken and stir well, coating it all in the paste. Add the rest of the coconut milk, lime leaves, lemongrass, galangal, palm sugar and half the fish sauce. Let the sauce bubble for about 10 mins, until the oil in the coconut milk starts to come through to the surface and the chicken is cooked. Add the pea aubergines and the rest of the fish sauce and cook for 5 mins more. Scatter on the Thai basil and serve with some jasmine rice.

EASY YUMMY KING PRAWN THAI GREEN CURRY



Easy Yummy King Prawn Thai Green Curry image

This is an easy recipe with amazing results. I first tried this with fresh chilli, lemongrass and ginger, but the things I list here can be kept as part of your fridge/cupboard stock and therefore this can be made at the drop of a hat, pretty much no prep needed, and tastes just as good. We have this on a weekly basis. The consistency of the sauce will be quite thin, which is fine, do not try to thicken it, it is meant to be that way. I serve this in a bowl, on a plate with the rice to the side, so you can scoop up a forkful of rice then dip and pick up prawns, mushrooms and sauce. I would recommend tasting once you put the stock etc in, if it is too sweet, add more stock, you can tinker with the amount of stock and coconut milk to your taste. The coriander must be fresh, it really makes the dish. Enjoy!
