Question

Do you know how long does it take to prepare traditional Thail Green chicken curry?

Answer 1

it depends if you are making it from scratch (making your own thai green curry paste) or from out of a jar. I make my own using a pestle and mortar - green chille, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and some fresh corriander and a bit of salt and oil. then i cook onions, then add peppers, then chicken and the paste, cook for a min then add coconut milk and more salt to taste. Easy peasy! lol

Answer 2

About 45 mins cooking time, same for most other curries, but only about 20 mins if using sliced chicken breastmeat instead of chicken pieces. About 10 mins or less to prepare ingredients or just a few minutes if using ready-made curry paste bought from the supermarket.

The long preparation time for most traditional methods is due to making everything from scratch using fresh ingredients. Even coconut is grated by hand & squeezed with water for milk. But these days modern busy people don't have the luxury of time and hence are willing to sacrifice some authenticity & home-cooked taste for the convenience of prepared spices & canned coconut milk. Commercial stuff may also have added preservatives, MSG & other stuff to extend shelf-life & enhance taste.

Add the chicken and beans to the pan and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through. Add the coconut cream, stir in and simmer, uncovered for about 3 to 5 minutes or until dish slightly thickens.

This recipe is best made just before serving and my family enjoys it with boiled rice.

As long as it takes to fry the meat and veg. Two or three large tablespoons of Green Curry Paste (any superstore has it) into the wok, add coconut milk and bring to a simmer. It's done.
