you like by altering the amount of peppers used. THAI GREEN CURRY
CHICKEN WITH BASIL Tiny pea-size Thai green eggplants are cooked with
this curry. You may substitute fresh garden peas which satisfies the
visual appearance. Allow the coconut milk to stand for one hour or
until it separates. Skim about 1 cup thick coconut cream off the top.

minutes. Add chicken; cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes,
stirring frequently. Add remaining 2 cups of coconut milk, citrus
leaves, 1/2 cup of the basil, chilies and peas. Bring to a boil,
stirring frequently, and simmer 5 minutes. Thin sauce with chicken
