Better Late Than Never...

I've finally managed to push myself to cook something during the working week that is not simply a re-heat of a dish made at the weekend nor one that can be 'knocked-up' in half an hour.

Making the most of an evening to myself and therefore the chance to spend more time on the preparation and thus eat a little later (not to mention turn up the heat factor), I decided to make a Thai Green Curry.

I don't normally buy 'hot' chillies but they were the only green ones left in Tesco and so I decided to give them a go. 

I was a little concerned whilst removing the seeds and rinsing the chillies because with every chilli came a dry hit at the back of the throat and lots of coughing.  As I had decided to go with the six chillies recommended in the recipe, I did start to wonder what I had let myself in for.  However, once the paste had been made, sauteed and then tempered with some coconut milk, the heat seemed to die down a little and the finished result was a delightful Thai Green Curry with a good balance of individual flavours and a rather pleasant kick at the end of every mouthful.
