Season with fish sauce and palm sugar.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
Pour in the remaining Ampawa 100% coconut milk and bring to a boil.

Add the red and green spur chilies and sweet basil leaves.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious green curry!
If you can't find Thai eggplants or pea eggplants, you can substitute with regular eggplants, but the texture and flavor will differ slightly.
For a spicier curry, increase the amount of green curry paste or add fresh Thai chilies.
To ensure the coconut milk separates properly, use full-fat coconut milk and avoid stirring too frequently during the initial cooking stage.

Yes, you can substitute chicken with pork, beef, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
What can I use if I can't find palm sugar?

How do I store leftovers?
Store the curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Can I make this curry less spicy?
