In this video you will learn how to prepare an authentic Thai green chicken curry. (แกงเขียวหวานไก่ Gaeng khiao Waan Gai)

Thai green curry is one of the popular ambassadors of Thai food in overseas restaurants. As such the dish has suffered modifications and abuses. This video demonstrates the authentic method of creating a flavorful curry dish from scratch. You can use a commercial curry paste if you can’t find the time or the ingredients to make your own.

However, the homemade version will be more fragrant and flavorful.Traditionally curry pastes are being made by pureeing all the ingredients using a pestle and mortar, starting with the hardest ingredient to the softer.

The paste should be as fine as possible, eliminating all the textures of the raw ingredients preserving only their flavors. The end product should have a combined, full and rounded aroma.Green curry is also popular with fish dumplings and coconut sprouts instead of chicken, and is often served with white rice, white rice vermicelli noodles and boiled salted duck eggs.

Thank you for the recipe post. I will try to do it Justis and be as authentic as possible. The singer voice in the video was quite hypnotic and would love to know the artist name.

I’m so happy that I found a place filled with genuine thai recipes! And the pictures, videos and the whole atmosphere of the site is awesomem keep up the good work.

I noticed there was no recipe list for this recipe. Is there any chance you have a list with the amounts, so that its easier to get it just right?

This is a beautiful video and I am happy to have found it- however, would it be possible to get an ingredient break-down with measurements like you have for your Matsuman Curry?
