Green Curry with Chicken

This is one of the most popular Thai curry dishes. Once you have all of the ingredients, it's pretty easy to make. Spicy and slightly sweet from the palm sugar and coconut milk, this curry is great anytime of the year.
If you are looking for a less starchy vegetable than potatoes, you can substitute Thai eggplant or bamboo shoots.
