Notes from Anna

This is a high protein, high fibre meal rich in antioxidant micronutrients from the herb and spice combo. Serve with plain Jasmine rice garnished with strips of lime zest.

The paste is the key to a good Thai curry. It's easy to make your own curry paste, making the curry fragrant and rich in zingy flavours. Check our recipe for homemade Thai green curry paste.
