Thai Green Curry With Jasmine Rice

For the fourth day of this Mega Blogging Marathon I am going to post a curry recipe from Thai cuisine. We both like Thai cuisine may be because of the flavors. Thai cuisine is rich in flavors and creamy texture of coconut milk. I have tried Thai red and yellow curries before and wanted to try this green curry from long time. Tried this green curry for few times with different vegetables and every time we enjoyed it . To day I used carrot, baby corn and two color capsicums. But you can use any other vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, tofu, brinjal.
so let's check the recipe.....
