Green curry is a variety of curry in Thai cuisine. The name "green" curry derives from the color of the dish. Other Thai curry dishes are identified solely by their colors, such as yellow and red curry. Green curries tend to be as hot as red curries, both being hotter than panang/padang curries. However, green curries, regardless of heat, have a definite and desired sweetness that is not usually associated with red curries.
Thai green curry can be made with all kinds of meat. However, the more popular ones are made with beef, pork, chicken, and fish ball. The green curry can be eaten with rice or with round rice noodles known as khanom jeen.
