If you're looking for a basic green Thai chicken curry recipe, start here. Green is the hottest type of curry paste; to take this chicken recipe down a notch, try red Thai curry paste (considered “medium” heat) or mild yellow curry paste. If you have a shellfish allergy, compare curry paste ingredient lists--some brands contain shrimp and some don't.

First time I've cooked Thai myself. I used yellow curry paste and regular coconut milk. Love it. Will definitely make again. My 6-year-old granddaughter loved it too!

I usually don't rate things like this... but I made an account to do so for this one. This one is fantastic. I didn't really know what I was doing with this recipe, but kept going. Pretty awesome. I added mushrooms as per JA1988's suggestion, and used kale for the veggies, and a normal potato for the sweet potato, and chicken breast instead of thighs. It was still fantastic. I served with rice (can you serve curry without rice?), and it's almost too spicy for my tastes (I'm a lightweight with a deathwish though). Love this recipe and I'll be making it again. Super easy, tasty, and keeps you warm on a cold night. Lovely.

Needs more spices to it I prefer a kick to my curry and this was very sweet to me. I loved the sweet potato and the flavors of this recipe but just wanted more spice. Next time I will add some peppers or something. If you are new to curry and don't like spicy food then this would be a good start. I did enjoy having leftovers for the next day/.

Authentic Thai flavor This is lovely but needs rice to sop up the sauce. We made some but should have been included in recipe. Pros: Tasty, authentic flavor Cons: A bit soupy
