The paste is the key to a good Thai curry. It is easy to make and brings a depth of flavour and fragrance to the finished dish. This will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge in an airtight container. To freeze, divide into batches in small freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months.

Authentic Thai Green Curry image

This is a classic Thai green curry (kaeng kiau wan) and my favorite curry of all time! You can substitute chicken or tofu for the pork, but make sure you serve it with lots of jasmine rice.
