Green Curry Paste is a blend of spicy green chilies and herbs and is used only to make Green Curry. Green curry is perhaps the most popular curry in Thailand with Green Curry Beef (Gaeng Keow Wahn Neau) or Green Curry with Fish Dumplings being two popular combinations. Green curry is perhaps the most Thai in the sense that it is so different from the curries of other countries. Serve Green Curry over steamed jasmine rice. Some say this is the hottest curry in Thailand but this is not always true, as this depends on many factors, especially the palate of the cook.
