Thai green curry chicken - Thai curries and dishes that use coconut milk are so similar to some of the dishes from my hometown in India as we also use a lot of coconut milk and coconut in our dishes! If you have had Thai food you are familiar with the yellow, red, and green curries.
Why you will love this dish?
- A great dish to have with rice tastes delicious and out of the world.

How to make the Thai Green curry Chicken?
This is one of the easiest dishes to make if you use the store-bought green curry paste. You could also make the green curry paste from scratch, which is not too difficult. There are some other ingredients like bamboo shoots, kaffir lime leaves, and Thai basil leaves which you need and they are all easily available in any Asian store. All these ingredients give an authentic taste. This recipe is adapted from a Thai cookbook "Thai Cooking" by Judy Batsyra with some modifications. Vegetarians can substitute the chicken with Tofu as well. Do let me know if you try it, it tastes delicious!
