    both are considered moles,or Mexican curries if you prefer, since they are both fried paste prepared with chiles, peanuts, cocoa and other spices . making them from scratch is very labor intensive but you can actually buy it already made in a bottle or "glass", doña maria and tololoapan being the most popular. The only diference between red and green mole is the peppers used, hense the color.

    Actually there are seven different classic moles in the state of Oaxaca - including colors such as black, brown, brick red, yellow and green.

    Legend says that mole sauce was created in the state of Puebla by a nun for a visiting Archbishop, but similar sauces were used for centuries by the indignant peoples in the area.

    Some of the possible ingredients include chiles, tomatoes, sesame seeds, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and a bit of chocolate for red mole; and guajillo chiles, yerba santa leaves, and masa harina for mole amarillo (yellow mole); pumpkin seeds, epazote, yerba santa, parsley, tomatillos, and green chiles for mole verde (green mole); charred dried chiles and avocado leaves for mole chichilo, guajillo and chipotle chiles, sesame seeds, and raisins for mole coloradito ("little red" mole, reddish-orange in color); and tomatoes, onion, puréed banana, vanilla, cinnamon, and ancho for manchamantel ("tablecloth stainer" mole); nuts, chiles, assorted herbs and spices, puréed banana, and cinnamon-flavored chocolate (black mole).
