Green Curry
A curry made in our home is very very mild, containing just a hint of flavour with almost non-existent heat. Hubby and I dislike spicy food because of its effect on gut health and it’s why I’ve not indicated an amount of curry to use for the recipe. For the sake of ease in cooking, I’ve used a store bought green curry to simplify the recipe. It’s best to buy a green curry with as little sugar as possible. Also, it’s important to add the lime juice after cooking to add an acidic flavour that will wake up other flavours.
