Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large skillet with deep sides, fry the panang curry paste over medium heat until fragrant.
  • Pour half of the coconut cream into the pan and bring to a boil.
  • Once the coconut cream is boiling, add the chicken and pea eggplant and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the coconut cream and coconut milk.
  • Season with ½ teaspoon of sugar. Taste and adjust as needed, but remember Thai panang curry has to be sweet and salty.
  • Add the red chili peppers and torn kaffir lime leaves. Cook for another minute and turn off the heat.
  • Transfer the curry to serving bowls, garnish with finely julienned kaffir lime leaves and serve with rice. Or even better, serve it on a bed of rice!
