Notes

  •  
  • I used store bought green curry paste because it is easy and convenient, so I don't need to make the curry paste from scratch. 
  • You can use other vegetables to make this Thai green chicken curry recipe. For example, some people like to add baby corn, mushrooms, bell peppers etc. 
  • Always taste the spiciness before adding more green curry paste. 
  • The best to use a mortar & pestle grinding the Thai basil leaves. If you don’t, you can use a chopper. 
  • Recommend using Aroy-D coconut milk because it’s thicker and creamer.
