Green Chicken Curry - Authentic Thai Curry

One of the famous dishes from Thai cuisine is called “Kaeng Khiao Wan” which translates to "Sweet Green Curry". “Green Curry” originates from “green curry paste,” while “sweet” refers to the gentle, sweet-looking green color, not the taste. It has a fragrant aroma of spices and a flavor profile that is spicy, salty, creamy, and slightly sweet from the coconut milk.
