Thai Curry "Green"

Origin & Special Features

Green Thai curry is one of the most famous curries in Thai cuisine and is characterized by its fresh, spicy, and aromatic flavor. The green color comes primarily from the use of fresh green chilies, which are blended with other traditional Thai herbs and spices such as galangal and lemongrass to create an intense blend. Green curry is more intense and hotter than yellow curry and is particularly well-suited for spicy dishes with meat, poultry, and vegetables.

Taste & Aroma

Green Thai Curry offers a robust spiciness, enhanced by the use of green chilies and pepper. This spiciness is harmoniously balanced by the fresh, citrusy flavors of lime and lemon, as well as the slightly sweet taste of fennel and nutmeg. The combination of galangal, ginger, and coriander creates a complex flavor combination that is simultaneously spicy, refreshing, and profound.

Application

Thai green curry is ideal for preparing curries with poultry, fish, shrimp, or vegetables. It blends perfectly with coconut milk and fresh herbs like lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves to create an aromatic sauce that pairs perfectly with rice or noodles. Green curry can also be used as a marinade for grilled dishes or in soups and stews to add a fiery and aromatic touch.

Health benefits

The ingredients in this curry offer numerous health benefits. Ginger and galangal are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and can aid digestion. Coriander and lime have a detoxifying effect, while the heat of chilies can stimulate metabolism and improve circulation. The use of lime leaves also provides a healthy dose of vitamin C.
