I love growing lemon grass! It’s just fun because it grows so quickly! An amazing benefit is that mosquitoes HATE it! I plant several around my patio! And yes, I do cook with it! Awesome video! 🙂🙂🙂

[@Marionskitchen]

Oh that’s a good tip!!! I’ll have to try growing some!

[@maceeo2416]

Did you buy seeds , how did you do it, are you in Uk

[@JJ-cv9ow]

Going to plant some thanks

[@annunacky4463]

Just take the store bought stalks, put the root end in water for about a week or two until roots appear. Plant and look out, they spread nicely…

[@lb120]

Don’t lie

The best thing about Marion’s videos is that she always tells me the situation I’m looking for.

[@robbied9239]

Out of all the curries, this is by far my favourite! It has such a well-rounded flavour. Thanks for showing us how to make a real Thai green curry.

[@calvinsbnb76]

Thanks for a truly traditional Thai green curry recipe. Unless I move to Thailand where the ingredients are readily available I doubt I'll be making it this way but it's invaluable to have this as a reference point so I don't stray too far off the path! Looks delish!

[@niko1ndex]

Go to your local asian market and get green curry paste, they probably have a frozen section too and you could look for some frozen lime leaves, apple eggplants and thai basil. The rest of the ingredients are available in every supermarket.

[@user-go2gq5lv2y]

She is absolutely beautiful and a good chef

[@therenaissanceredneck8825]

I was told the same thing. I agree Galangal and Ginger have totally different flavor profiles. Thanks for giving us great recipes.

[@Marionskitchen]

Thanks for watching!

[@BabyGamer25]

I can say, she is the REAL thing!

[@jasonbird]

We made your green curry (from the box) for dinner tonight. It’s so easy and beyond delicious! Thanks!

[@rayradiance666]

It’s fun to make everything from scratch! When I’m home from traveling for weeks at a time, I love getting ingredients and making Jamaican, Indian or Thai curries fresh from scratch and doing it the proper way actually encourages me to look forward to leftover for days and saves a lot of money too (inadvertently).

[@L-Wong]

[@juris123]

Marion my favorite chef vloggerhands down !!!!

[@1240enzo]

I am sure it’s more authentic and yes to make your curry paste from scratch is wonderful, and on occasions I too have (though not green curry paste). For me, it’s quite simple, I use Mae Ploy green curry paste and to my western taste buds it’s damn good. As of course we can’t get such veg as the apple and pea egg plant here in Oz, the veg i would add is julienned carrot for sweetness, green beens, zucchini and possibly even mushrooms. But hey it’s all about what you have in the fridge or have planned ahead to get. I must say I will try making my own paste to compare the difference in flavour to the ready made paste. Adding some red curry paste does sound like an interesting thought.

[@PeregrineSW]

Try Maesri instead of Mae Ploy. You'll see...

[@thunderbolts2438]

I’m in the mood for Green Curry 👍😃

[@tamatron22]

I always have green curry with a salted egg. They go together so well.

[@Marionskitchen]

This looks awesome, but for now I’ll stick to your green curry ready mix boxes from the supermarket. 😊 Thank you for sharing this yummy curry with us.

[@bkm2797]

Looks delicious Marion, but can you freeze it and for how long. Thank you for sharing, you make Thai dishes and condiments look like they can be done without to much expertise.👍❤️

[@CuratedVibes]

I miss living in Chiang Mai, I ate green curry daily. I never got tired of it. I used to make it at home using market bought curry paste. But there were many food stalls selling it around my house.

[@phatsmurf575]

I need to make green curry again. It's my favorite of the curries.

[@Santhoshiniweerasinghe]

Wow super awesome fantastic yummy recipe Thank U so much Dear for ur great very useful video 🙏👍👌🤩😋🤗😘

Thank you for introducing me to galangal. I make my own curry paste. Always have a jar available in my fridge whenever I feel in the mood for a curry dish.

[@Yearite84]

Yummmm!

[@brownstar45]

Is there a substitute for the Magrut lime? I know I'm not going to be able to find that here. I'm in the UK. I'm quite close to Asian markets, but I doubt I'll be able to find this there.

[@kulawittumwongyuen813]

Curry Fact : The name Green Curry in Thai 'Gaeng Keow Whaan : แกงเขียวหวาน' ....Gaeng : แกง = Curry / Keow : เขียว = Green / Whaan : หวาน = normally mean Sweet, but in this case, it means Pastel color. Because in the past, we didn't have the specific word for 'Pastel color', so we use the word 'Whaan' to explain the mild green color. So,.... Gaeng Keow Whaan = Sweet Green Curry (X) Gaeng Keow Whaan = Pastel Green Curry (✓)

[@cas1928]

Marion, could you make double the curry paste & freeze half?

[@Marionskitchen]

Absolutely. I do that all the time and it freezes really well.

[@skayc1]

not sure that I can get the galangal, plus if the makrut lime I would be allergic to.

[@plutosn0taplanet]

I will never be able to find the ingredients here in Midwest lmao. Looks amazing though

[@punchpineapple]

Anyone have a suggestion for the best shrimp alternative for someone allergic to shellfish? There are lots of ideas online including fish sauce and miso paste - anyone have a preference?

[@tang377]

Try Korean soybean paste or Japanese Miso. Just use only 1 tablespoons. Many commercial brands curry paste don’t include shrimp paste in their products for this reason. So just read ingredients list. Hope this helps

[@punchpineapple]

@@tang377 Thanks

[@modernmeme3451]

Very impressed you try to cook thsi dish. Would recommend you not add oil to cook your paste but add a bit of coconut milk in then add remaining in later. Also never add water into thai curry.

[@christianchauhan23]

❤🤍💙 all your videos #MARION👍

[@lavitaebellaa]

So, no coriander root?

[@89MrMint]

I really love all the different kind of thai currys but I have a question. Is it somehow possible to make a much less or non spicy green curry without loosing the typical taste? I once ate in a thai restaurant where the lady made actually a non spicy green curry. I’m having a hard time to do one since I often loose the taste or it’s too spicy

[@LemLTay]

All large, mild green chillies in the paste. Taste before using, to make sure. Try removing chilli seeds and membrane - using gloves to protect your hands etc. if needed. That way, the colour would still be vibrant without being spicy hot. Make it just the way YOU like it, and if it already tastes hot enough, then it's just right for you. (A Thai person told me that if one is habituated to eating very hot food, the spiciness tastes "normal". So for those not used to it, a little spiciness that tastes quite spicy is the same sensation. )

[@duncangough9969]

Are Makrut limes and kaffir limes the same.?

[@judieloveday1643]

Yes. The name was changed due to being racially insensitive.

[@nathangregg1765]

I have never heard this so was curious. Apparently this is mainly in South Africa, where Kafir is a slur for black people and it is usually known as Thai lime there. Huh. More you know. Thanks for the tidbit of info! ​@@judieloveday1643

[@Marionskitchen]

Yes they are the same but I prefer to use the less insensitive name 👍

[@sheppN7]

Marion, burning question as someone who is allergic to shrimp: what is a substitute for shrimp paste in most recipes, including something like a paste. I’ve used dried shiitake for wet recipes, but I’d love to know 😢

[@omgwth7567]

Miso

[@rholloway717]

😋

Hi Marion please make pork floss buns 🤗

[@bigearsboy]

Can you freeze the paste if you make extra?

[@omgwth7567]

Sure!

[@tanyapeerson1950]

Is there a replacement for the shrimp paste. I cannot eat mollusks or shellfish. Fish is fine though

[@omgwth7567]

Miso

[@joshuasylvester6910]

No coriander and thai basil in curry paste mix ??

[@ekaterinaefimova2190]

She added thai basil in curry later, so no need for it in curry paste, I guess. And I'm sure she also added coriander seeds.

[@Marionskitchen]

not in my family recipe 😃

[@juris123]

Hilarious, s makrut lime and kaffir lime leaves the same?

[@omgwth7567]

Same

[@thealterator]

I tried your box thai green curry and I felt it lacked any strong robust flavours that you would get if it was done fresh. Not hating, just letting you know that the box with your name to it is a little lackluster.

[@Cherrykhalil]

Bunga kantan (galangal) and halia ((ginger) yesss totally different thing i agree !!

[@moushmail]

Bunga kantan (Etlingera elatior) is not galangal (Alpinia galanga) 😮.bunga kantan is torch ginger which they put tiny shavings of, into Penang rojak and is super fragrant but in a unique way - is used fresh, not cooked. Galangal has a totally different flavour and is usually cooked.

[@sharunjohnjoseph]

What about Coriander leaves and its root? I thought Thai Green Curry Paste has them 🤷🏻‍♂️
