It would have been nice if I used boneless chicken thigh as recommended but unfortunately I couldn't find any when I went to the grocery :( Although, I am not an expert in Asian dishes, somehow I was glad this dish came out quite good.

Actually making this from scratch isn't too hard. You can make the paste and freeze it.
I have not try cooking green curry before. I might give it a try one day
This is one of my favorite Thai dishes! Yum!
