Thai Green Curry Recipe: Our Jiffy Version

Do you ever get tired of eating the same thing: pasta, grilled fish or sautéed vegetables? You are not alone. There does come a time when you may eye the nearest Chinese takeaway or aim for an Indian, Japanese or Thai joint. You may be surprised to know that many of the conventional recipes that you find in these restaurants are very easy to prepare at home. And the advantage then is that you can make these dishes healthier by controlling the amount of oil, by steaming instead of frying, and in general by using fresher ingredients.

I accordingly present the classic Thai Green Curry recipe (as adapted for my tastes in my home).
