If you make the paste from scratch, pound instead of blend- this will give it a great colour.
"Like it spicy? Toss in extra chillies."
Ingredients
2 cups of coconut milk (one cup thick, one cup thin)
3 Tbs green curry paste
1 cup of water/ light chicken stock
1 Tbs fish sauce
1 Tbs palm sugar
500g pork/ chicken breast (diced quarter inch)
4 medium sized green round eggplant ( can be subbed this for 1 cup of pea sized eggplant- terung pipit)
½ cup Thai basil
2 red chillies for garnish
Serves...
3 - 4
A rich coconut gravy with freshness from the fresh basil
Method
Pour in the thick coconut milk into the pan with lemongrass and cook it on medium heat until oil comes out (pecah minyak). You must make sure that the milk curdles a little.
Put in paste, fry for 2 minutes (constantly stir so it won't burn).
Add in chicken, coconut milk, stock, fish sauce and palm sugar. Mix until it bubbles.
Add in eggplant (cook 10 minutes).
Add basil at end, cook it a few seconds so that the leaves turn dark green.
