I LOVE Thai food and like many other Southeast Asian cuisine, they are packed with spices and robust flavor. There are so many different kind of curries out there. One of my favorites is Thai Green Curry. Back in the college days, I had a Thai friend who cooked the best Thai food ever. His green curry was to this date, still the best in my opinion. You can prepare this Thai green curry by buying the green curry paste from Asian grocery store or you can make it from scratch, which is really..really…EASY. You can make them in bigger batch and freeze the paste for future use
