Seafood used
Cooking method
- Place a large frying pan on a medium heat. Add oil, onion and garlic and sweat for 5 minutes until soft and transparent.
- Add green curry paste, ginger, chilli and lemon grass and cook for 1 minute to release flavours, stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Pour in coconut cream, add whole coriander root and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Place fish into the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes until cooked. Add a little water if the consistency is too thick. Add fish sauce to taste (in Thai cooking this is the equivalent of salt), and remove coriander root.
- Serve in warm bowls accompanied with a side dish of steamed jasmine rice, garnished with chopped coriander leaves.
