Just imagine walking through the front door and smelling the glorious aroma or a Thai Green Curry – Big L’s. A bad day becomes good. The taste of this dish is perfectly Thai with the warm undertones and moist chicken. Then you have the sauce which I would happily drink out of a glass. The mixture of coconut milk, chillies, kaffir leaves and fish sauce makes this so immense. Serve as a main dish on a bed of boiled rice for a classic meal.
