Thai red or green curry

[Mercy]

Does anyone know the difference, is the green one milder?

And can anyone recommend a good paste?

I don't know what the difference is but I use Tesco's green paste.

Green is milder. I make my own sauce -

1 stalk lemongrass
2 Tbsp. corriander seeds, pounded with pestle & mortar
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 tsp. shrimp paste
1 tsp. sugar
1-2 green chillies, de-seeded
3 cloves garlic
1 thumb-size piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
3-4 kaffir lime leaves
1 cup fresh coriander
1 tsp. dark soy sauce
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 cup Thai basil

Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process well.
To use the paste immediately, first fry it in a little oil until fragrant. Then add coconut milk plus your meat, seafood, or pasta and/or vegetables.

You can store your green curry paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator for use later. Paste will last 2 weeks (or longer), as the spices help to preserve it.

Thank you - and thanks for that recipe COV
