Those who love thai dishes definitely will love this curry too.. 🙂

Note : As my husband is allergic to shrimp ,I didn’t use shrimp paste in my curry .. So if u want u can omit that,but thai green curry is incomplete without shrimp paste… 🙂

U can increase or decrease the no of green chillies ..

Love

🙂
