Instructions

The paste:
Place all ingredients in a food processor, chopper, or blender.
Process well to form a fragrant Thai green curry paste. Your curry paste is now ready to be used. You can bottle up any leftovers and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze thereafter.

If using a pestle & mortar: Pound all dry herbs & spices together to form a paste, then gradually add the wet ingredients, pounding and stirring until smooth.

The curry:
Heat oil in a wok or deep frypan over high heat. Add eggplant and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden. Set eggplant aside.
Add paste to wok and stir briefly.

Add chicken and stir-fry, tossing to ensure paste doesn’t burn, for 2-3 minutes until seared. Add coconut cream (low fat), stock (salt reduced), lime leaves and corn and bring to the boil.

Return eggplant to pan, then reduce heat to low and simmer for a further 5 minutes until chicken is cooked and corn is just tender. Stir in fish sauce, lime juice and sugar and heat through for 1 minute.

Serve with steamed rice.
