I can think of nothing more relaxing than cooking a curry from scratch. This was fairly extreme even for me- down to the real coconut cream! Followed the recipe from the Food Of Thailand - and it was superb.
It was all inspired by a trip to China Town where I saw this fantastic bunch of Thai Sweet Basil
The ingredients for a proper green curry paste
One of my fav kitchen gadgets - the mini blender
I've learnt to only use the soft middle layers - so no more picking woody bits from my teeth!
The finished paste - with enough in the pot for the freezer!
And so to the fresh coconut cream
If you ever cook Thai - then invest in some Palm Sugar. Seems to keep for ages and adds a lovely depth to the sweetness
Thai Eggplants - ooops - I mean aubergines
Once all the above is made- the rest is straightforward
