Thai Green Curry Prawns

Coucou,

There is a different between Indian and Thai curry paste. Every Thai curry taste also different and unique because they used more fresh herb and of cause more chillies. Thai tends to use galangal, lemongrass, basil and other fresh ingredients that are not used in India. Somehow, these two curries Thai and Indian are always my choices because they're all delicious!

I made Thai green curry prawns last weeks and I'm just happy that mon mari really enjoyed his meal more than me. He love the flavor and texture of Thai green curry.
