GREENCURRY

Green curry

Green curry is a variety of curry in Thai cuisine. The name "green" curry derives from the color of the dish, which comes from fresh Thai basil and green chillies. The "sweet" in the Thai name refers to the particular color green itself and not to the taste of the curry. As this is a Thai curry based on coconut milk and fresh green chillies, the color comes out creamy mild green or, as this color is called in Thai, "sweet green". The curry is not necessarily sweeter than other Thai curries. Green curries tend to be as hot as red curries or hotter.
