Thai Veg Green Curry Recipe - Thai Green Curry with Vegetables

I love thai foods, they are so flavourful and has a complete different taste and aroma than our foods..I do make them quite often. The one thing that puts me off is the availablity of thai ingredients in my place. I couldn't get my hands on those beautiful galangal, lemon grass and stuffs like that..So when i want to create a thai recipe, i either have to purchase them online or modify the recipe according to the available ingredients.

Now lets talk about this curry. Luckily during one of shopping trip, i found those chings thai red and green curry paste. Immediately with no delay i picked them. When i used them, i never tasted their preserved taste. It tasted so fresh and flavourful.. i have already used so many products of them so i am confident when i got them.

P.S: This is not a paid advertising, i simply loved their product, so i am sharing it..

And from that day, i have been creating lots of recipes using them and every thing turned out really good..For all those you can easily find thai ingredients, i am sharing the recipe for green curry paste below so you can make them from scratch..GOOD LUCK..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Method:

If you are making thai curry paste from scratch, take all the mentioned ingredients in a blender and puree till smooth.

Heat 1 tblspn of oil in a pan, add in all veggies and toss well for 5 to 7 mins till the veggies are half cooked and got little colour. Remove them to a bowl.

Now in the same pot, add in 1 more tblspn of oil and add in curry paste. Cook this for 3 mins or so till it has darkened and oil separates from this.

Now add in half of the coconut milk and cook this till oil separates from this.

Add in the veggies and stir that in the curry for 5 mins.

Now add in remaining coconut milk and water if needed and mix well.

Season with salt and sugar,

Bring to a simmer and mix well. Cook till veggies are done.

Now add in the tomatoes and simmer for further 2 mins.

Serve with hot rice..

Pictorial:

Take any of your favourite veggies..I took all the bits
and pieces i had in the fridge and used them

Prepare your veggies by chopping them

You need couple more ingredients, which is thai
green curry paste and coconut milk

Heat oil in a pan

add in all the veggies except tomatoes..I added the
green chillies as well

now saute them really well

This sauteing will take the raw smell from the veggies
and give the veggies a little colour

look now the veggies have got a bit of colour on them
and they have cooked half the way through

remove them to a bowl

now i used this green curry paste..But you can make your own..I couldn't find so many thai ingredients in my place, so i took the easy step and bought one..

Now heat a bit more oil in the same pot

add a good three tblspn of curry paste..and it depends on
your taste..

now you have to saute them well in the oil

look the colour has darkened and it looks a little grainy this is a good things..Because this way the flavours has deepened..

now add ½ of the coconut milk

mix well

now you have to cook this down

now you can see the oil has separated from the coconut milk..

at this point add the veggies back in

toss well

stir fry the veggies for atlease 5 mins in the curry paste..this makes the veggies taste really good

now add the remaining coconut milk

you can little more water

add little salt and sugar

mix well. and simmer for few mins

add in tomatoes

simmer for couple more mins

curry done

dish it up

this is how you serve it..take a good portion of cooked hot rice

pour lots of green curry

let the rice drink up the sauce..Enjoy hot..

This curry looks really good. I've been wanting to branch out with my cooking lately, so maybe I'll try making this. Is it hard to find green curry paste? I might have to take my husband out to a few thai restaurants first and make sure that he likes that food. http://www.laperlerestaurant.ca/en/
