Directions:
-
Simmer coconut cream in a pan until the oil separates. Add Kiew Wan curry paste and stir until it dissolves.
-
Add shrimps and try until well cooked. Pour into a pot then add coconut milk. Bring to lull boil over medium heat.
-
Add round eggplant or brinjal and season with fish sauce and palm sugar. When the curry returns to a boil, the round eggplant or brinjal will be cooked.
-
Add red spur chilies, shredded kaffir lime leaves and sweet basil leaves. Serve in a bowl.
Tips:
-
If the curry paste is burned while frying, the curry will be darker than usual and have a slightly bitter taste. Likewise, if undercooked, it will appear pale in color and mild in taste and aroma.
-
As an alternative, shrimp can be replaced with chicken, pork or beef.
-
To keep the round eggplant or brinjal fresh and green, cut and soak in slightly salted water. Only use when the curry is fully boiling.
