Thai Green Chicken Curry
Green chicken curry is a classic Thai dish known for its savory, spicy, and sweet flavors.
The dish gets its name from the vibrant green of the curry, which comes from the green chili peppers, lemongrass, and basil leaves. This dish features a medley of flavors that create a delicious and complex taste.
The sweetness of apples and onions balances the spiciness of the curry, while the fish sauce adds a salty umami to the dish.
The curry is typically served over a bed of white rice, allowing the sauce to soak into the grains and infuse them with its rich flavors.
This Thai green chicken curry aroma is too die for with the scent of lemongrass and basil filling the air.
Enjoy!
