Thai Green Curry


I’m sure I have posted this recipe somewhere here already. This version was especially tasty:
– Fry a chopped onion
– Make green curry paste in a blender using the following ingredients:
– a large bunch on fresh coriander (leaves and stalks)
– one or two fresh chillies (depending on how hot they are)
– one clove of garlic
– about 2cms of fresh ginger
– a teaspoon of Thai shrimp paste (sometimes called Trassi or Kapi – you can buy it in most oriental stores)
– A little oil, sesame oil is good for a nutty flavour
– Add the curry paste to the onions
– Add coconut milk
– Add a tin of peas, or fresh peas, or even frozen ones
– Cook on a gentle heat
– Add fresh peeled shrimp and cook through (if you are using cooked shrimps do not cook for so long, just heat them sufficiently)
I serve this with rice and fresh basil.
