Thai-green-curry

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts cut into cubes or if you prefer and they are much tastier then use thighs or a leg cut into two…I normally use legs and allow 2 pieces per person which means I normally have some left over for another day…
6 Thai eggplants. cut into quarters……They are the larger ones in the pictures.

sm bunch small egg-plant ( optional) Pea-like size in above Picture.
5/6 stems of Thai sweet basil (pick of leaves)
Large can or two sm cartons of coconut milk or fresh from the market if you are lucky like me
10 straw mushrooms quartered or use button mushroom.

Let’s Cook!

Start with 1 tbsp curry paste .. and add more if desired I don’t know how hot you eat curry.

Cook with a tiny amount of oil to release the flavour, add 1 tbsp fish sauce cook for 2 mins slowly add the coconut milk and simmer gently.

Add chicken, cook on simmer for 20 mins then add vegetables and Thai basil cook for further 20 mins.

Serve with steamed rice or noodles.

N.B. You can get curry paste called Nam Ploy from supermarkets in the UK and Asian stores around the globe which is a good substitute unless you prefer to make your own paste. As a treat, I have added my recipes on how to make your curry pastes from scratch.

I am lucky I don’t always have to make mine from scratch as we can buy ours from local markets which are freshly made and the curry is a lovely vibrant green colour I can also taste before I buy so I know how hot or not the paste is which takes the guesswork out of the equation and they vary in heat.

I hope you enjoy this curry it is one of my favourites and quick and easy to make.

Enjoy!

About Carol:

Enjoying life in The Land Of Smiles I am having so much fun researching, finding new, authentic recipes both Thai and International to share with you. New recipes gleaned from those who I have met on my travels or are just passing through and stopped for a while. I hope you enjoy them.

I love shopping at the local markets, finding fresh, natural ingredients, new strange fruits and vegetable ones I have never seen or cooked with. I am generally the only European person and attract much attention and I love to try what I am offered and when I smile and say Aroy or Saab as it is here in the north I am met with much smiling.

Some of my recipes may not be in line with traditional ingredients and methods of cooking but are recipes I know and have become to love and maybe if you dare to try you will too. You will always get more than just a recipe from me as I love to research and find out what other properties the ingredients I use have to improve our health and wellbeing.

Exciting for me hence the title of my blog, Retired No One Told Me! I am having a wonderful ride and don’t want to get off, so if you wish to follow me on my adventures, then welcome! I hope you enjoy the ride also and if it encourages you to take a step into the unknown or untried, you know you want to…….Then, I will be happy!

Until next time when it will be No More Diets…Enjoy your day xxx
