- 1 Tbsp. fresh basil leaves
- 2 Tbsp. fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp. palm sugar Oil for cooking
- 1 Tbsp. green curry paste - (to 3 tbspns)
Directions
- Cut the chicken up, then briefly fry the curry paste till fragrant, reduce the heat, add in the coconut lowfat milk slowly, and continue to stir while cooking till a thin film of oil apppears on the surface.
- Add in the chicken and other ingredients except the eggplant. Bring to a boil and cook till the chicken begins to change color. Adjust the flavors to suit yourself. When it is at a boil again add in the eggplant and continue until the chicken is cooked through.
- Comments: The Thai name of this dish literally means "sweet and sour chicken curry". There is a very similar recipe for a red curry (Gaeng phed gai).
