Thai Green Curry with Chicken & Eggplant, 'Gaeng Khiao Wan Gai' Buy ingredients for this recipe! This recipe highlights the delicious Thai mini eggplant and it's a common recipe throughout all provinces of Thailand. It's easy to prepare, and almost always made with chicken & served with jasmine rice. Translation: Gaeng = spicy soup, khiao = green, wan = sweet, gai = chicken. We like to make it with lots of chicken so it's a hearty meal. Also note we also have a similar green chicken curry recipe here. Ingredients2 tablespoons green curry paste In a wok, heat the oil and fry the curry paste for one minute. Add coconut milk and bring to a boil. Add chicken, eggplant and kaffir lime leaves. Season with fish sauce and sugar. Keep on medium heat until chicken is cooked, then add basil and chile peppers. Serve with freshly-steamed Thai jasmine rice.

3:30 PM This recipe is awesome! I like to add an extra tablespoon of fish sauce as I like my curry slightly saltier. Also, although I make it as listed often as well, my favorite variation of this recipe uses shrimp (pre-cooked and cleaned works great) instead of chicken and serves it over wide rice noodles instead of jasmine rice! Because it's a soupy curry, it flavors the noodles nicely.

5:57 PM This recipe came out great, the only thing is that my kids found it a bit too spicy... but I loved it! Thank you!

7:49 PM We tried this recipe tonight, but since there's only 2 of us, we halved the ingredients. We also used the regular sized eggplants and added some carrots for color. (^_^) It was so delicious! We loved it! Thanks! I was really excited because I recently bought kaffir lime leaves from your site, and now I finally have been able to add kaffir lime leaves to green curry. Since I wasn't able to find any before I shopped here, I would make green curry without the leaves. Wow, it makes a huge difference! We'll never have to order it from a restaurant again. (^_^)
