Ingredients

2 teaspoons of lightly toasted cumin
2 teaspoons of lightly toasted cilantro (coriander)
2 medium chopped shallot
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 teaspoons of grated fresh root ginger
1 tablespoon of lemongrass
1 teaspoon of fish sauce
1 pound of boneless and skinless chicken thigh
2 cups of coconut milk
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 medium chopped bell pepper
1/2 pound of green bean
1/4 cup of chopped basil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 lime juice
2 medium green chilies
1 zest of lime

Directions

For the curry paste, cook the spice seeds in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry the pan for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are a little darker and more fragrant than before.
Let the spices cool completely and then grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle.
Add the cumin and coriander along with the other curry paste ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Continuously scrape the sides of the bowl while operating the food processor to smooth the mixture. Put the curry paste in a container with a lid and store it in the refrigerator until you need it.
In a large skillet, cook the shallot over medium-high heat for 1 minute. When it smells a little, add two heaped tablespoons of green curry paste and cook for 1 more minute.
Add ¼ cup of coconut milk, making sure to mix the mixture well in the pan.
Add the chicken to the skillet and then add the peppers and green beans. Cook the mixture for 20 minutes on medium-low heat. Then stir in the cilantro and basil.
Serve over steamed rice and garnish with some lemon wedges.

Tips

Use good quality coconut milk.
Use chicken thighs or breast meat in this recipe.
If you're looking for a plant-based alternative to chicken, use firm tofu. Make sure to drain it well. Too much liquid in the curry will ruin the final flavor, so ensure to optimize for evaporation during cooking.
You can use homemade or ready-made curry paste.
The paste is best when used immediately, but it will keep in the fridge for three days. If you’d like, you can freeze Thai curry paste.
If you want to make this dish vegan-friendly, skip the chicken and fish sauce.
