Recipe from Chelsea Winter · original post

Possibly the world's easiest from-scratch Thai green chicken curry: a quick blitzed paste of green chilli, shallot, garlic, ginger and fresh coriander, simmered with chicken, coconut cream and veg. A family favourite on heavy rotation. Chicken thigh works as well as breast.
