Best Very Spicy Thai Green Chicken Curry Recipes

EASY THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Skin and dice the potatoes into bite sized pieces. Toss in the potatoes and cook them for 5-6 minutes. They should become slightly tender but not completely soft since they will finish off cooking in the curry. Drain the water and set aside.
• While the pot of water is coming to a boil/the potatoes are parboiling, chop up all the other fresh ingredients as indicated in the ingredients list: the garlic, red and green chilies, baby corn, large red chili, chicken breasts, coriander, and coconut sugar disc. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil and chili oil (if using) in a wok or pot over high heat. Add the curry paste and fry for a minute until fragrant.
• Add the chicken and sauté with the curry paste for 1 -2 minutes. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and is well coated with the paste.
• Add in the garlic, red and green chilies, baby corn, chopped coriander stem, and sliced strips of the large red chilies. Sauté for 30-40 seconds.
• Reduce to medium-high heat and stir in 200ml of the coconut milk. Let simmer for a minute and then add the remaining coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, coconut palm sugar, Thai dried red chilies and ground Thai red chili pepper (if using). Stir to combine.
• Add the potatoes and stir. Then, reduce to medium heat and cover the wok with a lid. Let simmer for 6-8 minutes.
• Remove the lid and give the curry a stir to make sure the coconut sugar has dissolved and blended into the curry.
• Turn up the stove to high heat again and stir in the Thai sweet basil leaves.
• Let simmer for a further 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat and remove to a dish.
• Garnish with the reserved coriander, Thai sweet basil leaves, and large red chili slices. Drizzle juice from a freshly squeezed lime over the curry if desired. Serve with warm steamed white rice, rice noodles, or garlic bread, etc.

• Homemade curry paste seasonings: Add 3 tsp fish sauce, 3 tsp sugar, 1/8 tsp salt.

• Taste sauce. Add fish sauce or salt for more saltiness, sugar for sweetness.

VERY SPICY THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Combine shallots, bird's eye chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, basil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, lime zest, lime flesh, lemon juice, sesame oil, and pepper in a food processor. Process, adding enough olive oil to make a paste that is thick but not thick enough to form peaks when you stir it.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and fry curry paste, stirring constantly, until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until chicken has sealed on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Pour coconut milk and chicken stock into the saucepan with the chicken; mix well. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until liquid has reduced to a thick sauce that clings to a spoon, 20 to 30 minutes. Add kaffir lime leaves and simmer for 1 more minute.
