FAQ

Can I make this curry ahead of time?
Absolutely! The flavors actually deepen when the curry sits overnight. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

What can I substitute if I don’t have Thai green curry paste?
You can use a mix of green chili, garlic, ginger, and cilantro paste as a quick replacement, but the authentic paste really gives it that classic flavor.
