Notes

Tip
Take care when frying the curry paste, especially if your kids are around. It can definitely take your breath away and often makes me sneeze a few times as all the aromatics are released.
Variation
If your children are having this Green chicken curry, you may like to omit the red chillies, remove a portion from the pot to serve to them, and then add a teaspoon of crushed chillies for the adults.
