Gaeng Kiaow Waan – Thai Green Curry

Gaeng Kiaow Waan – Thai Green Curry

This is one of the three main curries that you’ll find throughout Bangkok. “Gaeng kiaow waan” takes its name from the green chilies that are added to it to give it a spicy kick.

However, due to its complex mix of ingredients that are pounded together, the taste is far from a typical hot spicy curry.

With herbs like lemon grass, galangal and garlic, lumped together with coconut milk, eggplants, sweet basil and fish or a meat of your choosing (chicken, beef or pork).

You’ll find this delicious curry lightly sweet and fantastically nourishing when eaten with a plate of steamed jasmine rice.

Spicy? Yes a bit.
