It's easier, cheaper and better than eating it out! Here you go the recipe for Green curry.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. cooking oil of your choice
• 2 cans of coconut milk (14 ounces), the Chao Koh brand is my fav
• 1 c. water
• 3-6 tbsp. Thai green curry paste, Mae Anong is a good one
• 1.5 lbs of pork or chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 c. frozen or fresh shelled peas, or small pea eggplants
• 1 ib. small Thai eggplants, cut in quarters, or 2 long Asian eggplants cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves
• fish sauce to taste
• 1-2 tbsp palm sugar, or brown sugar, to taste
• 1 c. fresh Thai sweet basil with flowers, or sub with other basil you have on hand

Instructions

1. Add cooking oil to large pot and warm it.
2. Be careful not to shake up your coconut milk because you want the thick cream to stay on top. Spoon out the thick cream from each can into the large pot and heat over medium-heat.
3. Reduce until it looks bubbly like melted marshmallows.
4. Add curry paste and fry for a few minutes until its fragrance soothes your soul and makes you smile.
5. Pour in the rest of the milk, and water and bring to a boil.
6. Add the meat and pea eggplants, if you somehow found them (I never have). If using fresh or frozen peas, don't add them yet or they will disintegrate, lesson learned.
7. Return to a boil.
8. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes uncovered.
9. After simmering, add the Thai eggplants, frozen or fresh peas (if using) and kaffir lime leaves.
10. Taste the curry. If you think it needs more salt, add fish sauce to taste. I like to add palm sugar because I like my curry a bit sweeter since coconut milk lends itself to that.
11. Simmer a few more minutes until the eggplants and peas are tender.
12. Stir in the basil and cook one more minute and turn off the heat.
13. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
14. Enjoy!

    Thai people believe that when they got sick and had a cold they would like to eat something hot and spicy because after they eat they will feel better.The spicyness could take away the cold."That's all for today.Thank you for listening everyone, and stay tuned for my next podcast!"
