Gaeng Gai (Thai Green Chicken Curry)

Preparation time: 40 mins
Serves 4.
Very Spicy
Ingredients:
Frying Curry
Ready Curry
  1. Fry 2 tablespoons of curry paste in sesame oil over medium heat until you have to cough.
  2. Add sliced chicken fillets and fry until they are golden brown.
  3. Add coconut milk, lemon leaves, aubergines and boil gently for about 30 minutes.
    Optionally add about 0.5 litres of boiling water to turn the curry into a spicy soup.
  4. For the last 5-10 minutes add the sweet basil leaves.
  5. Add fish sauce to taste, generally at least one ladle.
This curry is best served with boiled jasmin rice. It is quite spicy and does not require any other condiments.
The curry can be kept safely for the next day.

Curry Variations

I tend to use green curry paste, but this recipe works just as well with red curry paste.
If you cannot get white aubergines in your area then the next best thing is bamboo shoots, which taste different but not in a bad way.
