Green curry paste is a flavorful blend of ingredients commonly used in Thai cuisine. It typically includes green chilies, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, galangal, and various herbs like cilantro and basil. The vibrant green color comes from the fresh green chilies and herbs, giving it a distinct appearance and taste. This paste is a key component in making green curry, a popular dish that combines the paste with coconut milk, meat, and vegetables. The result is a rich, aromatic curry that can be adjusted for spiciness according to personal preference.
