Ingredients

  • 650 g whole leg chicken, cut to serving size
  • 500 g eggplants, washed, cleaned
  • 200 ml coconut milk, concentrated
  • 6 pieces kaffir lime leaves, washed
  • 1 red chilli, sliced slantingly

Instructions
 

Marinating Chicken

  • Sprinkle half the salt on the chicken and rub. Sprinkle the balance of the salt to complete marinating the chicken. Leave aside.

Cooking Green Curry Chicken

  • Cook the coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves over medium heat in the pan, until they come to a gentle boil. It take roughly 1.5 minutes.
  • Add in green curry paste. Stir and mix until well-combined and smooth.
  • Add in the marinated chicken. Stir until well-coated with the gravy.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan. Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cut the eggplants into halves and quarters, then submerge them in water. Leave aside.
  • Open the pan and give the chicken a stir. Add in 350ml of water. Raise the heat to medium. Cover the pan and allow it to simmer for 8 minutes, or until boiling vigorously.
  • Once boiling vigorously, add in the eggplants. Stir and mix well.
  • Add in fish sauce and sugar. Mix until well-combined. Cover the pan and cook for 8 minutes, or until eggplants are soft.
  • Taste and adjust as preferred. Add in cut chillies and basil leaves. Give it a few turns. Switch off the heat.
  • Serve with white rice.
