How To Make The Green Curry Paste
Curry paste is traditionally made by pounding the ingredients in a stone mortar and pestle until all the ingredients become a creamy consistency.
So you will need a mortar and pestle and a lot of elbow power.
Put all the ingredients in the mortar and work with the pestle.
There is a way to speed up this step by using a blender.
Feel free to skip this part and buy a ready-made paste.
You can buy it at ethnic stores or better stocked supermarkets, or make it at home following my recipe below.

- Eggplant
- Kaffir lime leaves

How To Make Thai Green Curry
Place coconut milk in pot or wok and turn on medium heat. Add green curry paste, stir well until an oil appears.
Add chicken and kaffir lime leaves, stir it until chicken is cooked.
Add sliced sweet eggplants and mini eggplants, keep stirring for around 3-4 minutes.
Add stock, bring to boil over medium heat, then add fish sauce and sugar.
Stir well and taste.
When the eggplants look well done, pour curry into the bowl and garnish with the red chili and the rest of sweet basil leaves.
How to Serve Thai Green Curry
The best way to serve green curry is to accompany it with basmati rice.
My favorite way to cook basmati rice is in the Instant Pot.
A cooking method that makes the rice fluffy and lump-free.
How to store leftovers:
You can keep it for 1-2 days at most tightly sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Is Hotter – Red Or Green Curry?
Thai green curry paste is less spicy than its red version, in any case, if you don’t like spicy too much, you can decrease the amounts, although doing so will make the dish a little less flavorful.
How to Make Vegan Curry
Making vegan green curry is so easy:
- Use tofu instead of chicken. Or use just the vegetables.
- Use vegetable broth.
