Our dedication to sourcing the freshest ingredients ensures that our Thai curries take you straight to the heart of Thailand. This blog will guide you through a deep dive into our instant Thai Green Curry, a dish that is as nutritious as it is delicious.

Historical Background

Thai Green Curry, or "Kaeng Khiao Wan," has its roots in Central Thailand. Historically, this dish was reserved for royal feasts and special occasions due to its rich and complex flavour profile. The green curry paste, the heart of this dish, was traditionally made using a granite mortar and pestle, a technique that has been passed down through generations to ensure the preservation of authentic flavours.

Cultural Significance

In Thai cuisine, green curry holds a special place, describing a perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and umami flavours. This dish presents the Thai philosophy of balancing contrasting flavours to create a harmonious culinary experience. It is a staple in Thai households and is often enjoyed during family gatherings and festive celebrations.

Protein Choices

To cater to different preferences, our Thai green curry can be customised with a variety of proteins.

• Chicken: The most traditional choice, it absorbs the flavours beautifully.
• Shrimp: Adds a seafood twist, making the dish lighter and more delicate.
• Tofu: Perfect for vegetarians, it soaks up the curry sauce, giving a delightful texture.

Cooking Process

• To prepare our instant Thai curry, you can just cut and pour the contents of the packet into a heated pan.
• Next up, you need to add half a cup of water and boil it for 4-5 minutes.
• Now is the time to add your choice of veggies and proteins. Just boil them and let them absorb the flavours of the curry for 2-3 minutes.
• In just these three simple steps, you are ready to garnish and serve delicious Thai green curry with your choice of noodles or rice. 
• If you don't want to use a stove, then you can just microwave the contents of the packet for 2-3 minutes, add proteins and reheat for 2-3 minutes. 

Thai Green Curry is traditionally served with jasmine rice, which soaks up the flavorful sauce. Alternatively, you can pair it with our range of authentic Asian noodles for a different texture. Garnish with fresh Thai basil leaves and sliced red chillies for an extra kick.
