Рецепт Thai Green Chicken Curry
Thai Green Chicken Curry is a type of an Asian curry made out of chicken, vegetables, coconut milk and green curry paste. Its main characteristic is it’s colour which is uncommon for curries which we usually associate with red or orange colours, the green tint is coming from a blended herbs and spices which includes green chillies, lemongrass, garlic, galangal, shrimp paste, kaffir lime peel, coriander, cumin, turmeric and pepper. Traditionally they are made by pounding the ingredients in a mortar and pestle but due to modernization food processors or even ready-made paste are now used.
I love this type of curry it looks mild due to its colour but dont be fooled by its colour as it is packed with flavours from the salty shrimp paste, fruity and fresh lemon grass, sour lime, sweet raw sugar and hot chillies, the combination is just an amazing explosion of flavours in every spoonful.
