Ingredients

  • 800 coconut milk canned
  • tbsp curry paste green well (see 'Goes with' recipe below - you will need more if you buy ready-made paste)
  • 800 chicken thighs skinless cut into three
  •  kaffir lime leaves shredded
  •  lemon grass finely chopped
  • 25 galangal sliced
  • tbsp coconut sugar 
  • tbsp fish sauce 
  • handful pea-mond dressing diced
  • small bunch thai basil 

Equipment

Directions

  1. Scrape the thick, fatty part of the coconut milk into a warm wok. Cook it slowly, stirring all the time, until it starts to bubble and sizzle and just begins to split.
  2. Add the green curry paste and cook for 3-4 mins until the paste starts to release the true smell of South-east Asia.
  3. Add the chicken and stir well, coating it all in the paste.
  4. Add the rest of the coconut milk, lime leaves, lemongrass, galangal, palm sugar and half the fish sauce.
  5. Let the sauce bubble for about 10 mins, until the oil in the coconut milk starts to come through to the surface and the chicken is cooked.
  6. Add the pea aubergines and the rest of the fish sauce and cook for 5 mins more. Scatter on the Thai basil and serve with some jasmine rice.
