"Good starting point, but to make a decent Thai dish, you should also add 4tbsp of fish sauce (replaces salt in Thai cuisine), two chooped lemon grass stalks and 4-6 keffir lime leaves (replaces lime juice). Often you will also find thinly sliced carot sticks in a green curry. I can also recommend adding capsicum and/or snap peas. You should add the oil and then the curry paste and mix them well. Then add the chicken and stir until half cooked (!). Then add the vegetables and coconutmilk (and 100ml of water). The chicken will cook in the curry and will be very soft. (Never fry the chicken until it starts to brown for it will be hard and dry afterwards!)"
