3. Add the chicken, lime leaves and fish sauce and bring back to the boil, then add the eggplant.
4. Reduce the heat to a simmer until the chicken is cooked through

Notes: My husband and I were fortunate to be able to live and work in Krabi, Southern Thailand for 12 months in 2003. We had a lovely ‘thai mum’ named Ja Par who looked after us and the recipes I have included are two of our most requested dishes that she would make for us and that I managed to pick up during our stay. Everyone knows a version of Green Curry Chicken, but I thought I would add this recipe with the traditional ingredients and which also shows the order in which I was taught to make it. Don’t feel guilty about buying green curry paste from a bottle. Very few thai families would actually make the paste themselves either, they would just buy it at an open air market instead of the grocery store! The best brand we have found is Valcom.
