ET’S AUTHENTIC Sour Green Chilli Curry RECIPE
What you need – 40g pack of ET’S Authentic Sour Green Curry powder 
1 onion. 3 garlic cloves. Some fresh ginger (preferably). The juice of a fresh lemon. Salt to taste. A little coconut milk if you want to increase the thickness of the sauce at the end. Enough meat, or vegetables, for 4 people (can be any cut of meat you prefer). Ghee or cooking oil and butter.
When you are ready to cook...
1 – Heat your pan on the hot plate and add 1 tablespoon of ghee. It is always preferable to use ghee when cooking curries. If you don’t have ghee use a combination of cooking oil and butter.
2 – Add a chopped onion and 3 cloves of garlic crushed and chopped. Add these to pan and stir until golden but not dark. Grate some fresh ginger to taste. Save some for the finishing.
4 – Add the meat or vegetables to the dish and stir well, adding a little water. Cook until the meat/ vege is cooked through.
5 – Then add the contents of the spice packet. Stir this in well, add a little water if needed and simmer over a low heat. The dish should not be a sloshing sauce, but don’t allow all the water to evaporate away completely. Keep the dish moist, not drenched.
6 – Squeeze in the juice of a fresh lemon.
7 – Simmer until the meat/vege is tender. Taste it. You will find it has a moderately dry and spicy taste. At the end of the cooking cycle, grate in a little more fresh ginger and add about 100ml of coconut milk and blend in. If you want it less hot, add some more coconut milk and stir in. 100ml should be fine. If you want it spicier, hotter, then when you are ready to serve sprinkle in some of our green chilli powder and stir in. It is now ready to serve with basmati rice and a few spears of cucumber. For an optional extra place a few leaves of fresh basil on top and a dob of butter.
Variations – you can add any vegetables you like to this dish. Carrots would sweeten it. It is fine to use any meat or vegetables.
Serving alternative. This is a dryish and spicy curry mix. I like to add a few slices of poached pear to the side of the dish to give a sweet balance to the flavours.
How much of the spice mix to use?
I would use all of it for a full bodied taste, but you might prefer to go slow and use less than the optimum amount. If cooking for 4 people, start with 2 teaspoons of the spice mix and add more if needed. Remember, this serves 4 people. If you are cooking for yourself reduce the amount of spice being used.
Enjoy!
