Prawns Green Curry

January 3, 2016 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

Extremely aromatic, creamy, bit spicy and tasty green curry.. I prepared this for a recent gathering for which the cuisine I chose was Thai. And this became one of the crowd pleaser.

As I dint get the complete ingredients for the green curry paste, I decided to buy a ready to use paste to prepare this curry..

You need,

  • Refined oil – 1.5 tbsp
  • Ready to use green curry paste – 2.5 tablespoon
  • Prawns cleaned, veined – 250 gm
  • Coconut milk – 1/2 cup
  • Water – 1/4 cup
  • Lime leaves – 3 nos
  • Fresh Red chilies – 2 nos. slit into 4 pieces (Remove seeds of 1 chili completely and discard it. )
  • fish sauce – 1 tbsp
  • Brown sugar – 1 tbsp
  • Thai Basil leaves – 10 leaves

You have to,

  • Wash, clean and place the lime leaves on your wooden cutting board. Using a hammer, hit the  leaves covering all sides (You could do the same in a motor pestle. No need to tear the leaves. This will help to release the flavor of lime leaves. Keep aside
  • Heat a sauce pan in medium flame
  • Add oil followed by green curry paste
  • Saute the green curry paste for couple of minutes till it turn aromatic.
  • Add the prawns and stir to coat well
  • Add the coconut milk and water and bring it to a boil.
  • Add lime leaves, and red chilies.
  • Allow to simmer till the prawns is cooked. Approx 10 minutes.
  • Finish of by adding the fish sauce and sugar.
  • Give a stir and remove the pan from flame.
  • Tear and sprinkle basil leaves on top of the curry. Stir to combine.
  • Serve with white rice (preferably jasmine rice which is cooked in coconut milk)
