Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut cream
1 cup green curry paste (homemade or storebought)
1 pound boneless chicken thighs, sliced 1 inch thick
1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup cubed eggplant (½-inch cubes)
½ cup whole Thai basil leaves
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh long red Thai chiles
4 makrut lime leaves, torn 3 or 4 times to release their oils
3 tablespoons palm sugar, or to taste
3 tablespoons fish sauce, or to taste
Steamed jasmine rice, rice noodles, or roti

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until sizzling (or if using coconut cream, heat it until bubbling). Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, just until fragrant and the color has intensified, about 1 minute. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
  • Add the chicken and stir to coat in the curry paste, then pour in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Add the eggplant, lower the heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer until the chicken and eggplant are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Thai basil, chiles, and lime leaves. Stir in the sugar and fish sauce until the sugar has dissolved. Serve hot over jasmine rice or rice noodles or with roti for dipping.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons green curry paste (we use the Maesri brand)
4 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons palm sugar, grated
1 chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 cup chicken stock
4 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped
5 Thai eggplants, quartered
25 -30 Thai basil
2 bird chiles, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the coconut milk in a small sauce pan (do not bring to a boil) and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauce pan, add the finely chopped garlic and fry until golden brown.
  • Add the curry paste and the chillies and fry for a few more seconds (for a milder version, omit the chillies).
  • Add the warmed coconut milk in and stir on a medium flame until the coconut milk starts to thicken.
  • Add the fish sauce and the palm sugar.
  • Add the thin cuts of chicken breast and stir on a medium flame until the meat turns white.
  • Add the stock and cook on a low flame for about 4 minutes.
  • Add the kaffir lime leaves, basil leaves and the quartered green eggplant and cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Serve with jasmine rice.

Tips:

  • To make the green curry paste from scratch, use a mortar and pestle to grind the ingredients together until a smooth paste forms. This will give the curry a more authentic flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make your own green curry paste, you can use store-bought paste. Just be sure to choose a good quality paste that is made with fresh ingredients.
  • When cooking the curry, be sure to use coconut milk that is full-fat. This will give the curry a rich and creamy texture.
  • Add the vegetables to the curry in stages, starting with the harder vegetables like potatoes and carrots. This will ensure that all of the vegetables are cooked through evenly.
  • Season the curry to taste with fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. You can also add a bit of chili paste if you like it spicy.
  • Serve the green curry with jasmine rice or sticky rice.

Conclusion:

Green curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
