<p><strong>Green Curry</strong> is a popular curry in <strong>Thai Cuisine</strong>. The main ingredients used in <strong>Green Curry Paste</strong> are Green Chillies, Shallots, Garlic, Galangal, Kaffir Lime, Cilantro Roots, Shrimp Paste and Lemon Grass. Green Curry Pastes can be made ahead and frozen for later use. This paste is readily*available in*Asian*supermarkets. <strong>Kaffir Lime rinds, Lemongrass, Basil Leaves and Galangal</strong> are used in many Thai Recipes. I was inspired by<strong>*Thai*Green Curry</strong>*in Madhur Jaffrey’s book and decided to make*<strong>Shrimp Green Curry</strong>*with whatever ingredients I had with me.*I adapted the Curry using few*<strong>South Indian</strong> ingredients.</p>

<p>This Curry goes perfectly with Rice and Rotis. It has a perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy & salty taste.</p>
<p><em><span><strong>Ingredients*for Green Curry Paste</strong></span></em></p>
<ol><li>Indian Green Chillies – 4 or 5 (Alter*according*to your spice tolerance)</li>
<li>Garlic – 3 cloves</li>
<li>Chopped Shallots – 1/2 cup</li>
<li>Fresh Galangal/Ginger – 3 thin slices</li>
<li>Fresh Kaffir Lime Rind *- 1 thin slice (I*used*Lemon rind/zest)</li>

<li>Black Pepper – 1/2 tsp</li>
<li>Shrimp Paste – 1/2 tsp</li>
<li>Cumin Powder – 1/4 tsp</li>
<li>Coriander*Powder – 1/2 tsp</li>
<li>Fresh Lemongrass (thinly sliced) – 2 tbsp ( I skipped this)</li>
<li>Water – as needed</li>
</ol>
<p><span><strong>Preparation*Method</strong></span></p>
<ol><li>Blend*all the ingredients for the Green Paste with a few tablespoons of water to make a smooth paste. Keep it aside.</li>
<li>Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan. Add the green curry paste and stir fry for a few minutes.</li>
<li>Throw in the curry leaves and saute for 2 minutes.</li>
<li>Add 4 tbsp of Coconut Cream and stir fry until the paste is lightly browned.</li>
<li>Reduce heat to low and add fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, lemon rind and 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water.</li>
<li>Stir and bring to a *simmer for 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and taste for a balance of flavors. Add salt only if needed since*the*fish sauce is salty.</li>
<li>Stir in the shrimp and cook on medium-low heat for around 20 minutes until it is soft and cooked through (In Kerala*Cuisine, Shrimp is cooked for a longer time compared to other*Cuisines).</li>
<li>Alternatively, if you prefer, you can cook the shrimp gently for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp just turns opaque.</li>
