Easy Thai Green Curry
This is a quick and easy to make Thai Green Curry recipe rich in protein, and vitamin B12, along with vitamin A and C.
I used to make my own Thai green curry paste but found it very difficult to buy the ingredients easily.
Now I use pre-made Thai pastes which are rich in flavour, taste amazing, quick and easy use with the convenience of always having a pack or two in my store cupboard.
