Using Spicentice to make the perfect curry
I love making a curry completely from scratch, but let’s be realistic here…
Making a curry paste can require so many different ingredients that you need to rush out and buy, and you probably won’t end up using them before they’re past their best.
Pre-prepared shop bought pastes are an option, but they can often be deceptive in terms of what’s actually in them. And of course, you always feel like you cheated a little bit!
Which is exactly why I recommend Spicentice’s Thai Green Curry Kit as the best of both worlds.
It comes complete with freshly blended whole and ground herbs and spices, and is perfectly balanced to create an authentic Thai flavour, with the addition of fresh ingredients.
If you do decide to substitute for a shop-bought Thai curry paste, just remember that you might need to alter the calorie and Syn content accordingly.

How to serve your curry
This Slimming World Thai green curry is perfect served with rice and a couple of wedges of lime.
Alternatively, cook up some egg noodles.
You’ll notice in the recipe that I use red pepper, mangetout, and baby corn, but if they’re not your favourites or you have other vegetables that need using up, don’t be scared to experiment a little bit.
You could add aubergine, asparagus, carrots, spinach, green beans, or pretty much any other veggies that you could think of!
