ok, here it is......
chicken fillets (we don't like bones in our house) cut into bite size pieces (you could even do this vegetarian and leave out the chicken!)
3 chinese eggplants sliced on an angle to make ovals
3 or 4 stalks lemongrass
2-3 small bunches of fresh corriander
1 large can coconut milk
1/2 brown onion (chopped)
1/2 tsp curry powder (if you want spicier, add more)
1 tsp minced garlic (we use the amoy garlic in oil)
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp apricot jam or marmalade
1 TBSP(ish) fish sauce
a few sprinkles of black pepper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) fry the eggplant in oil until seared(remove)
2) fry the chicken separately until cooked(remove)
3) fry the curry powder in a little oil, add the garlic, onions & lemon grass.
4) add coconut milk to curry mixture
5) let it simmer and then add the chicken. let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
6) add the jam, fish sauce, pepper, sugar & eggplant.
7) let it simmer until eggplant is tender
8) remove from heat and add fresh corriander as a garnish.
PLEASE REMEMBER..... my helper has made this SO many times that she doesn't follow a recipe any longer... she guesstimates the quantities. you may have to adjust them a little.
