gaeng kiew wan gai : green chicken curry


Gaeng Kiew Wan Gai : Thai Green Chicken Curry

I moved into a new place (4 bedrooms) - yeah I know... It’s nice to live with space.
A mate, who I have known for almost 10 years through work, came to help. So, I manage to cook "Green Chicken Curry" for her as it’s her most favourite dish.

Find below my recipe of "Green Chicken Curry"

2-3 Cups of Coconut Milk
3-4 Cups of Chicken Stock
2 Tablespoons Green Curry Paste
2-3 Cups of Chicken (thigh or breast fillets), cut into strips
2 Cups of Apple-Eggplant, halved

4 Kaffir Lime Leaves, shredded
2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
2 Tablespoons of Palm Sugar
½ Cup of Basil Leaves
½ Cup of Red Chilies, cut into strips



Preparation

- In a big saucepan, bring coconut milk to the boil, and cover over high heat for about 10 minutes or until bubbles, or till it begins to crack on the surface of the coconut milk.
- Add curry paste and stir to break the paste.
- Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add chicken and stir fry for another 5 minutes.
- Pour in Chicken Stock and bring to boil.
- Add Kaffir lime leaves, Apple-Eggplants & Red Chilies, stirring occasionally
- Add in fish sauce, and brown sugar to your taste.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle with Basil leaves
- Serve immediately with "Kanom Jeen" Fresh Rice Noodle or steamed whole-grain rice.

Serve : 2
