Notes

  1. This curry is very mild. If you like things hot and spicy then feel free to use more green curry paste. 
  2. The coconut milk should be full fat, unsweetened, canned coconut milk. This will taste the best. If you want to use a light version then you can go ahead, but it should also be canned and unsweetened. Don't use a drinking coconut milk as these are often sweetened and this will ruin the flavor. 
  3. The coconut sugar is just for flavor balance, the end result is not sweet at all. You can omit it if you prefer or use a different kind of sugar. 
  4. Leftover curry keeps very well in the fridge for 4-5 days. 
  5. Nutritional information is for curry only and excludes rice.
