Vibrant green curry infused with aromatic lime leaves, lemongrass, and galangal for a flavor explosion.
Ingredients:
  • 200ml coconut cream
  • 8 (about 1.2kg) chicken thigh fillets, coarsely chopped
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 8 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 x 230g can bamboo shoots, drained
  • 1 x 230g can water chestnuts, drained
  • 200g snow peas, cut into 5cm pieces
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 5cm pieces
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped palm sugar
  • 20.00 ml drained green peppercorns
  • 250.00 ml coriander leaves
  • Steamed jasmine rice, to serve
  • 4 long fresh green chillies, seeded (if desired), coarsely chopped
  • 82.50 ml coarsely chopped fresh coriander roots and stems
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped fresh galangal
  • 4 purple Asian shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk lemon grass, pale section only, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tsp finely grated lime rind
  • 6.10 gm shrimp paste
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.60 gm salt
Instructions:
  • Prepare the curry paste by combining chili, coriander, galangal, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, lime zest, shrimp paste, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and salt in a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
  • In a wok over high heat, bring the coconut cream to a boil until it separates. Stir in the curry paste and cook until aromatic. Add chicken, coconut milk, and lime leaves. Simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes until chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, snow peas, and asparagus in the pan and cook for 2 minutes until peas are vibrant green and tender crisp. Take off the heat, then mix in fish sauce, sugar, and peppercorns. Taste and adjust seasoning with lime juice, if preferred. Stir in half of the coriander.
  • Finely shred the remaining lime leaves, then garnish the curry in serving bowls with lime leaves and coriander. Serve immediately with steamed rice, if desired.
