Ingredients
Light and fresh, with a fiery flavour - this Thai green curry recipe features the classic combination of coconut milk and green curry paste. The base sauce can be made into either a Thai fish curry (pictured) or a Thai green chicken curry. It's always a crowd-pleasing dish, just don't forget that it's hotter than you might think (Thai red curry is the milder version).

3 shallots, thinly sliced
