Thai Green Curry (gang khiaw wan)
I think of all the Thai dishes that are enjoyed throughout the world the Thai Green Curry is probably one of the
favourites and one of the most well-known. However when outside of Thailand, it is some times quite painful to see
some of the true authentic ingredients omitted or even replaced by substitute ingredients and I include some Thai
restaurants in this equation as well. To get the absolute best out of your Thai Green Curry you need to have all the
correct and fresh ingredients for this central Thailand region dish.
