Prawn thai green curry
Thai Green Curry is a coconut milk based Gravy infused with aromatic herbs and spices. This dish is so colorful, light and full of flavour.
Traditionally shrimp paste and fish sauce are also added. But I have left out these two ingredients and instead added a Chicken Stock Cube. If you find it difficult to find all the ingredients for the curry paste, use ready made Thai Green Curry paste. Serve with steamed rice or rice noodles.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 kg Medium Sized Prawns
200 gms Button Mushroom (Cut In Half)
100 gms Broccoli Florets
1 Bok Choy
Handful Of Basil Leaves
3-4 Fresh Red Chillies, Sliced
200 ml Thin Coconut Milk (Second Extract)
250 ml Thick Coconut Milk (First Extract)
