Green Curry

Green curry is a popular Thai dish consisting of green curry paste, coconut milk, meat and/or vegetables. It is usually served with jasmine rice. Green curry is a spicy dish, with an intense flavor and aroma. The flavor of green curry comes from a blend of chili peppers, garlic, shallots, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, cumin, coriander, and shrimp paste. The paste is then cooked in coconut milk, along with the meat and/or vegetables, to create a fragrant and flavorful dish. Green curry is often considered to be the spiciest of the Thai curries, but the level of heat can vary depending on the ingredients used.
