Thai Green Curry
A curry built on green chili paste and coconut milk, simmered with chicken, eggplant, and Thai basil, sharper and more herbal than the sweeter red curries.
Where it comes from
The curry's heat and color come from fresh green chilies pounded into the paste rather than dried ones, a distinction that also affects how quickly the paste spoils and why it's usually made fresh in small batches.
What cooks argue about
Cooks argue over cracking the coconut milk, frying the paste in the thick cream until the oil separates, versus simmering the paste in thinned coconut milk, which is faster but gives a flatter curry.
