I am a huge fan of thai green chicken curry for takeaway! Such a comforting and warming meal. I don’t opt for takeaway much anymore, but I definitely went through a phase of eating this literally every week.
If you’re buying it out, it’s usually super expensive and also loaded with calories. Also, the portion sizes are just way too big when you get takeaway and it almost feels rude to leave anything behind. It would be a waste right? 😉
So I’ve recreated the takeaway version and transformed it into a fakeaway. Still packed with flavour but with less calories and extra protein and goodness!
This was super easy to make. Now you can go the extra mile and make your own curry paste but I just bought a good quality paste in Tesco to cut down on prep time and ingredients needed.
All you need is 7 easy ingredients! You could also use beef or tofu or whatever protein source you like instead of chicken.
FYI, This meal costs only €2.50 per serving to make including the rice. Versus at least €12 for a takeaway. Give your pocket a break and try this easy homemade version 🙂
