Green Curry Pasta
Fushion food at its best – Green curry (chicken & prawns) with farfalle pasta
One of the reasons why I love green curry is because not only is it nice enjoyed with white rice, it is also nice with pasta as a one-dish meal. I basically boil some pasta, arrange them on a plate, and ladle green curry over the pasta. The curry as you can see is slightly more soupy than the usual green curry – the way I like it, when having it with pasta. I went to Bangkok in February this year and stuffed myself silly with the yummy and affordable Thai food there. Even though it’s been three months, I still miss Thai food a lot. This is one of the dishes which I enjoyed in Bangkok and so I tried to recreate it at home.
Ingredients
(Serves 2-3)
Basic recipe for green curry from my eariler recipe– 4 tbsp green curry paste (I use R.S.T brand I bought at Bangkok’s JatuJak Market)
– 1 stalk lemongrass, cut to 2-inch lengths, make cuts all over to release favour
– 2 kaffir lime leaves (dried or fresh)
– 300g boneless chicken fillet, cut to bite sized chunks (see cooking note 1 below)

– 500ml water
– 100ml coconut milk
– 1 sprig of curry leaves
– 5 large prawns per person (head, shell and veins removed)
– 2 to 3 servings of pasta (I am using farfalle aka bow tie pasta here, about 80g per person)Seasonings
