For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices for at least 30 minutes before frying. Adjust the amount of green curry paste according to your spice preference. Ghee can be used instead of vegetable oil for a more authentic taste. Fresh mint or cilantro can also be used as a garnish for added freshness.

Jun 27, 2025My rice was a little mushy, but I think that's because I didn't drain it well enough after parboiling. I'll be sure to do that next time.
