I get really worried when recipes suggest 'cook as per instructions on the packet' or use thai green curry paste without the suggestion of how to make it... when I want to cook I really want to cook and know that I have made it all not heated up packets that is not cooking.

@Thai.
Not all of us live in London! 80% of us don't live anywhere near. I find it hard enough to get lemon grass, never galangal without a 3 hr trip but ginger is easy. Give us a break.

This recipe is a big fake! This might be a green curry recipe, but definitely not a Thai version. We Thais use galangal and not ginger. And we never use green onion for this curry. What a shame. London is a place where you can find any ingredients, no matter how exotic. I'm sorry you feel the need to change it beyond recognition!

Jamie's first book 'The Naked Chef' has the recipe for 'Fragrant Green Chicken Curry' which is his Thai chicken recipe. I'm sure this is the one you are after as it is the best! It is the one made out of fresh ingredients in the blender:
4 chicken breasts, cut into 5 pieces each
1x 400ml coconut milk
Handful chopped pistachios

For the paste:
6 spring onions, washed and trimmed
4-6 medium green chillies, deseed and finely chop
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon peeled and finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, pounded or crushed (don't use pre-ground if you can avoid it)
Half teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Maldon sea salt and more pepper to taste
Half handful lime leaves, torn (I don't use these)
2 lemon grass stalks, trimmed and finely chopped
2 good handfuls fresh basil on the stalk
3 good handfuls fresh coriander on the stalk
3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
zest and juice of 4 limes

Put all in the processor and whizz to a fine paste. Marinate the chicken in a few tablespoons of it for 30 minutes. Add oil to wok or pan, fry chicken 2 mins each side, add rest of marinade and then coconut milk, boil and simmer for 8 minutes. Don't overcook; check a piece by cutting it down the middle, making sure it isn't pink. Season to taste and add pistachios.

Enjoy!!
