[Thaifoodmaster] Thai Green Chicken Curry - How to Make Authentic Version Recipe

Episode 3 - In this video you will learn how to prepare an authentic Thai green chicken curry. (แกงเขียวหวานไก่ Gaeng khiao Waan Gai)Thai green curry is one of the popular ambassadors of Thai food in overseas restaurants. As such the dish has suffered modifications and abuses. This video demonstrates the authentic method of creating a flavorful curry dish from scratch. You can use a commercial curry paste if you can't find the time or the ingredients to make your own. However, the homemade version will be more fragrant and flavorful.Traditionally curry pastes are being made by pureeing all the ingredients using a pestle and mortar, starting with the hardest ingredient to the softer. The paste should be as fine as possible, eliminating all the textures of the raw ingredients preserving only their flavors. The end product should have a combined, full and rounded aroma.Green curry is also popular with fish dumplings and coconut sprouts instead of chicken, and is often served with white rice, white rice vermicelli noodles and boiled salted duck eggs.

What I want to know is if I were to substitute the chicken with lamb, should I add more of the paste? Also, does any variety of eggplant work with the recipe? As here in India we rarely find greener variety. We usually find the Aubergine coloured eggplant.

[Thaifoodmaster]

@TheAbhiksen when using meats that requires long cooking time, it is good practice to precook the meat until soft in coconut milk [ 1:1 water / commercial coconut cream] before using

any eggplant will work

Your recipe sounds delicious but I live in Stanmore, England where it is hard to find pea and apple eggplants. Do you have any ideas about where I can get them from? Thank you.

P.S. Is there an alternative to palm sugar as palm sugar is frequently sourced from forests in which many animals (some of which are endangered) rely.

[Thaifoodmaster]

@jleer1 if you cant find an online supplier, than use frozen peas. add them just before serving. the taste and texture might be slightly off but still acceptable.... as for palm sugar... mmm... i guess you could say it on every agriculture produce ;-) ithe production of palm sugar does not endanger the wildlife the trees are harvested for the sap, much like rubber trees....

who is singing in this beautiful video?

[Thaifoodmaster]

@Jeanisteal the song is "12 PAN NA" by Prathip Panduang, a northern Thai style music.

Thai food, one of the most delicious in the world. So full of flavor.

[Thaifoodmaster]

g2theross, no need to get frustrated ;-) There are even variation in Thailand between different provinces and among different households. The one i provide here is a darn good one, and as authentic as you can get. but you are welcome to experiment and adopt the version that suits your palate.

@Thaifoodmaster LOL you just took the time to make handmade green curry paste then you said sure you can use peas instead of eggplant. 0-o

[mogie2006]

I am very intrigued by the way the Thai cook there food.This will take me many days to get the right ingredients and cooking style correct.If i follow your directions i will surely make a meal that tastes 1/10 of what you would make while u dont even try and because of this i am impressed with your cooking skill.In Australia this will be difficult to get the ingredients i will have to visit many asian food stores thank you for the challenge

[Nakor420ish]

@jleer1 I make curry all the time at home, I used palm sugar at first, but changed to plain white sugar because I honestly did not like the taste of the palm sugar.
