Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream on high for about 1 minute, then add the oil. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Stir-fry the paste for about 1 minute, until the paste starts to thicken, dry out and become fragrant. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk and/or oil to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
- Stir the sweet potato cubes, onion, basil, half of the lime leaves and remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the curry simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Also check that the curry is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add the chicken. Let this simmer for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and tamarind. Add the bell pepper strips and turn off the heat. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with the Thai basil, remaining lime leaves and diced bell pepper.

GREEN CURRY CHICKEN
This came from a can of coconut milk I made no changes. It's quick and easy, we eat it weekly and it is so wonderful. If you like curry you will absolutely love this. If you have never tried curry this is a perfect recipe to put you in the "curry lovers club". Just try it- I promise you won't regret it. ***I did not want to change the original recipe, but wanted to note that I actually use 2-3 tbls. of curry, we like it with a lot of heat. Please....adjust the curry to your personal taste*** Also, I find the Mae Ploy brand that can only be found in an asian market is wonderful every time. I have tried curry bought in the grocery store and it is NEVER very good...the Mae Ploy is always potent and fresh tasting and I keep a big tub in my fridge for months and it stays good.

Steps:
- Break up tamarind, then add to boiling-hot water (1/2 cup) in a heatproof bowl and soak 15 minutes. Mash tamarind with a fork until pulp is dissolved, then pour tamarind mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
- Heat a dry 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over moderately low heat until hot, about 2 minutes, then toast coriander and cumin seeds, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add 12 curry leaves and toast, stirring constantly, until leaves curl and darken, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 4 chiles and toast, stirring constantly, until a shade darker, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool completely, then finely grind in grinder.
- Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken in 2 batches, skin sides down first, turning over once, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot, then cook onions over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until edges are golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low, then add ground-spice mixture, garlic, turmeric, and remaining teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently (to prevent scorching), about 3 minutes. Add coconut milk and tamarind liquid and simmer, stirring, until any coconut-milk solids are dissolved, about 1 minute. Add chicken, skin sides up, in 1 layer (chicken will not be completely covered with liquid) and simmer, covered, until chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- While chicken simmers, cook green beans in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.
- When chicken is done cooking, transfer with tongs to a cutting board, reserving sauce in pot, and halve each chicken breast diagonally through bone. Put chicken in a deep serving dish and keep warm, covered with foil. Add green beans to coconut sauce and simmer until just tender, about 1 minute.
- While beans simmer, heat remaining tablespoon oil in 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add mustard seeds, then cover skillet and cook until seeds make popping sounds, about 5 seconds. Remove lid, then add remaining 15 curry leaves and 2 chiles and cook, stirring, until leaves crackle and chiles darken slightly, about 5 seconds. Pour hot oil mixture over coconut sauce and beans, then stir to combine. Season with salt, then spoon sauce and beans around chicken. Discard whole chiles if desired.
THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY IN A SLOW COOKER
Steps:
- Tip the chicken chunks into the slow cooker along with the potatoes, carrot, capsicum, zucchini, mushrooms and chilli. Mix the curry paste with the coconut milk and pour this into the pot. Stir all the ingredients together mixing together well. Put the slow cooker on for 4 hours and 10 minutes. Our slow cooker only has one setting while some others can be set to low, medium and high. I would imagine that you would want to set your cooker to medium. Forty-five minutes before the end of cooking time, add the snow peas, baby peas and cashews. Serve with rice and topped with some sprigs of coriander if you like.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and more flavorful your ingredients, the better your curry will be. Look for organic, free-range chicken, and fresh vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of curry paste: There are many different types of curry paste available, each with its own unique flavor profile. Experiment until you find one that you like.
- Adjust the chili peppers to your taste: If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili peppers or use a milder variety. If you like it hot, you can add more chili peppers or use a hotter variety.
- Let the curry simmer for a while: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken green curry can be served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. It's also great with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Chicken green curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this curry is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give chicken green curry a try.
