Final Notes
Final Notes
There’s a common misconception that Thai green curry is green in color from all the Thai basil used in the recipe. The real green color of the curry comes from green chilies. If you prefer a spicy curry, simply increase the amount of fresh green Thai chili peppers in the curry paste recipe.
