Ingredients:

Lemongrass x 2 stalks
Turmeric x 1/2 Inch
Shallots x 5 pcs
Kaffir Lime (Skinned and white layer removed)
Green Birds Eye Chili x 5 pcs
Garlic x 3 pcs
Coriander Root x 3 stalks
Coriander Seeds x 1 Teaspoon
Fennel Seeds x 1 Teaspoon
Blue Ginger x 4 slices
Shrimp Paste x 1/2 Teaspoon
Sweet Basil x 10 Leaves
Salt
Coconut Milk x 500gm
Chicken Breast x 1 portion (You may use other parts of the chicken as well)
Palm Sugar x 1 Teaspoon
Thai Green Eggplant x 4 pcs
Pea Eggplant x 10 pcs
Sweet Basil x 1 stalk

Cooking Method

Prepare paste by adding items 1 to 12 into a pestle and mortar. Pound until all parts are broken down into a paste like texture (Please take note to add the hard ingredients first and dry toast the coriander and fennel seeds to get the aroma going. Do also ensure you add in a pinch of salt to get the paste going)
Pour 100gm of coconut milk into a pot and cook till you see oil coming out
Put in paste from Step 1 into heated coconut milk and cook the paste thoroughly
Slice up chicken breast (if you prefer other parts of the chicken, that is fine as well). Put chicken into the mixture and slow cook
Pour in the remaining coconut milk and simmer with chicken
Slice Thai green eggplant into chunks and put into the mixture
Wash pea eggplant and add to mixture
Let the green curry come to a boil and lower heat to prevent burning
Taste and season with salt if necessary
Once you turn the fire off, take sweet basil and put into curry

The Green Curry is ready for serving. You can serve it with rice, bread or prata, depending on what you prefer.

To garnish, you can add 2 to 3 slices of cut large red and green chili.
