Preparation

• Finely chop the garlic, lemongrass, galangal, Thai shallots, lime leaves, coriander and 2 types of chilli. Pound those ingredients together in a pestle and mortar, pounding the harder ingredients first. Once those ingredients have formed a paste add the white pepper corn, shrimp paste and salt.

• Cut the chicken thighs into chunks.

Cooking

• Reduce ¾ cup coconut milk until thick and coconut oil starts to separate from the coconut milk (try to use the cream from the top of the tin). Add the curry paste, stirring constantly over a medium heat for about 2 minutes until aromatic. Add the remaining coconut milk, and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Add the chicken thighs and stir to mix with the paste. When the chicken is cooked, add the stock then the thai aubergine (cut into slices and cook for 2-3 mins). Then add the pea aubergine, makrut lime leaves, fish sauce and palm sugar. Mix well and then add the Thai sweet basil, and red chilli.

• Serve with jasmine rice
