Easy Thai green curry
Blend authentic ingredients into a quick homemade paste or use shop bought for a Thai green curry easy enough to pull together on weeknights. Jo uses chicken in her Thai curry, but prawns and extra firm tofu also work.

The curry is now best left to sit for a few minutes so the sauce becomes creamier. You will also taste the true flavours of the curry paste ingredients when it's slightly cooler. Serve with lots of fragrant Thai jasmine rice.
