Thai Green Curry

Thai Green Curry

The Holiday week has given me ample time to catch up on TV. Alternating between couple of food Channels last week I ended up watching Mo Rocca's program "My Grandmother's  Ravioli" on Cooking Channel. I have seen him on "Sunday Morning" on CBS, never knew he was hosting a cooking show. I took a liking to the program instantly and  watched  three different shows in a row . I kinda liked the concept of the show where Mo gets to work with Grandmothers and Grandfathers in their kitchens on their treasured recipes.Mo is really funny. The first episode I watched , had a Thai Grandma cook this delicious Green Curry. It looked so good I decided to try it the very next day. The original recipe used Duck,fish sauce,shrimp paste in it ,being a vegetarian I decided to use a lot of vegetables  instead. Earlier whenever I made green curry at home I was using store bought  Curry Paste.After trying Green Curry paste  recipe from the show I am now hooked to it. It really tasted fresh and authentic.

Here's a link to Manee Soohoo's Green Curry Duck Recipe.

 Here is the recipe for Green Curry Paste. I followed the exact recipe excluding the Duck,fish sauce and shrimp paste parts. Instead  I added a lot of tofu,mushrooms,red bell pepper,sprouts,bamboo shoots,water chestnuts and snap peas. It wasn't time consuming to make the recipe once I had all the ingredients on hand. A must try if you love Thai food !
