👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a heavy based skillet or pot over medium high heat.

  2. 2

    Add curry paste (and garlic, ginger and lemongrass Extras, if using) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it mostly “dries out” – see video. Don’t breath in the fumes!!

  3. 3

    Add chicken broth and coconut milk, mix to dissolve paste.

  4. 4

    Curry in a jar seasonings: Add 1 tsp fish sauce, 1 tsp sugar, no salt.

  5. 5

    Homemade curry paste seasonings: Add 3 tsp fish sauce, 3 tsp sugar, 1/8 tsp salt.

  6. 6

    Add kaffir lime leaves. Mix then bring to simmer.

  7. 7

    Add chicken, stir then lower heat to medium so it’s bubbling gently. Cook 7 minutes.

  8. 8

    Add eggplants, cook 5 minutes until soft.

  9. 9

    Taste sauce. Add fish sauce or salt for more saltiness, sugar for sweetness.

  10. 10

    Add snow peas, cook 2 minutes until a bit softened, then stir through basil and lime juice. Sauce should have reduced but will still be a be on the thin side, not thick – that’s how it’s should be. DO NOT keep simmering – sauce will darken.

  11. 11

    Serve curry over jasmine rice with garnishes of choice.
