best Thai Green Curry sauce in a jar?
Hey,
I love Thai food, especially Thai Green Curry. I've only ever had it in restaurants before.... recently I used the Lloyd Grossman sauce recently and it was bland and disappointing and not like what I've had before (I can't see what I did wrong, I just heated it on the pan as usual). Normally I love Lloyd's sauces. Can anyone recommend a good authentic Thai Green Curry sauce that I can buy in the supermarket? |

I really wouldn't bother, it's much better to make your own. Most of the ingredients are widely available in supermarkets now anyway. Try this recipe:

It's not hard to make your own, however if you are pushed for time, these pastes are very good.

I've always been a bit dubious about ready made sauces of any variety, so for Thai Green Curry I use Sainsbury's Thai Green Curry Paste and add coconut milk. It's yummy

As other have stated it's not hard to make but if pushed I use Bart's Thai green curry paste with a tin of coconut milk, chopped shallots and garlic and fresh coriander.

I make my own thai green sauce now. Uses about a dozen ingredients, but you can make as much paste as you desire then. Much tastier than anything else i've ever had from a jar or even a restaurant, as opposed to just blowing your arse off. any one can add chillies, doesn't make them a good curry cook.
Then just add coconut milk when cooking. |

We used to love the Knorr packet that they used to do (it was in a kit), but we cannot seem to find it anywhere now.
I think there was a paste that you fried with the chicken for a while and then added the rest of the stuff (sauce etc) after a few mins. It was the best one we ever had, but I guess people like the cuck in just one jar of sauce option. |

![]() I really should get round to making my own, I was in an oriental supermarket the other day, and I saw so many ingredients that I would probably need |
