WOOLWORTHS THAI GREEN CURRY IN A CAN
I bought a couple of these puppies at Woolworths earlier this week and haven’t had a chance to try them yet. It’s a can of Thai Green Curry from Woolworths and comes with bamboo shoots and baby corn! On the label it says : “just add chicken, fish or prawns.”
I also bought 4 portions of free range skinless chicken breasts, using 2 pieces (which I cut into strips) for this, my first curry.
I chose the conventional instructions, rather than the microwave and popped the contents of the can into a pan. I brought it to boil and then let it simmer, adding the chicken pieces. No CRAZY cooking, just a light simmer. 3 on the stove setting (out of a possible 8).
What can I say – I’m a pro!
Not much stress so far and, with the chicken costing an effective R16 (half the four-pack I bought for R32), and the can of Woolworths thai green curry costing next-to-nothing (I forgot and the slip is thrown away – whoops!) – it’s pretty reasonable! Obviously this doesn’t matter when you have fabulous wealth, but it certainly is nice to know!
I went back to the living room and allowed the 18 year old Brazilian farm girl to continue my neck massage, which is often the case whilst writing this column for YOU.
Not ten minutes later the chicken was cooked and I was finally able to dish myself my very first curry.
GIVE ME A BREAK!
Curries are too easy!
I took a few mouthfuls and had to go to the bathroom to find a tissue. It was so damn good, I was moved to tears.
No, my friends….you have never..
Just…
Just get it.
Thank me later.
But I’d move if I were you. They’ll move pretty fast after this.
* Oh I forgot to mention the fact that it only has 4.7 grams carbohydrates, 14.2g total fat and 0g cholesterol. Perfect for fatty boom booms.

Personally, I prefer their green thai curry paste that comes in the little sachets. Much more tasty

It was R30 for a tin, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Tai Green Curry. Next will be the Tai Red Curry, and then I’ll try the Tom Yum Something soup. The curry was very mild though. For a superb curry on the West Coast – try the little Indian curry spot in West Coast Village next to Spur. That curry encourages you to dab and not wipe. Seth, if you thought the Tai curry was hot – you’ll fucking die for an authentic Indian chicken curry.

Been using those little puppies for bout a year and a half now. They used to be about R17 a tin (F*$king inflation)
Anyways, you should add some extra veggies like green beans and sugar snaps to bulk it up a bit.
And coriander.
Lots of coriander.
