Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.
Thai Green Curry
The beauty of Thai curries is that they’re typically knocked up in minimal time. This one should take you 20 minutes and that includes making your own paste. If you choose to use a shop bought paste, the ingredients list for the recipe is minimal.
