Thai Translation – Krueang = Paste, Gaeng = Curry, Keow Wan= Green
Green curry is a favourite Thai dish of many people around the world. It is a smooth, creamy soup-like curry that can be made with any type of meat, seafood or vegetarian versions. This curry paste is made without shrimp paste making it perfect for vegans or vegetarians to enjoy. If you do not like your curries too spicy add large green chilli's which are not particularly spicy, alternatively, use more small green chilli's if you like dishes that pack a punch!
Store excess curry paste in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Use the paste as an additive to fried rice for a delicious and quick meal or marinate meat or tofu in the paste and then grill it on the bbq for something a little different. If you do not have a mortar and pestle, you can make this paste quickly and easily using a hand-held blender or in a food processor.
