the curry paste (see below)
Green curry paste:
3 tablespoons lemongrass, bottom 2/3 of the stalk cut into small rings
1 1/2 teaspoons galangal
2 1/2 teaspoons magroot peel, chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon chopped corian
Voorbereiding:
1) First prepare the ingredients for the paste. Chop each piece into fine bits, to make the pounding easier. Roast the peppercorns on medium heat for about 5 minutes, until fragrant.
2) In a stone mortar & pestle, start with the lemongrass, and pound until it`s a paste. Then add the lime peel and galangal, and pound until paste.
3) Add the cilantro roots, salt, peppercorns, and pound until paste.
4) Add chilies and garlic, and pound until paste.

Bereidingswijze:
1) Throw 1/2 of your coconut cream (head) into the hot pan. It should sizzle and boil like mad. Let it do this for about 20 seconds, then add all the curry paste.
2) Keep stirring the curry paste so it doesn`t burn or stick to the pan. If it dries out to much, gradually add more of the coconut cream to the pan, little by little. You want to cook the paste for about 2-3 minutes, until it`s really fragrant and you sneeze. Not joking. You will sneeze. The ingredients inside the paste cook at different speeds, and when the chilies start to cook, the air gets spicy. That`s when it`s done.
3) Add some more coconut cream and the meat or tofu. Keep stirring until cooked through, and make sure your paste doesn`t burn or stick to the pan. Keep adding coconut cream to slightly `boil` the paste, not so much `dry fry` it. If you run out of cream, start to use milk. If using beef, you`ll need to cook for much longer, until the beef gets tender. If tofu, just a minute to get the flavor through.
4) Add all the coconut milk and boil for a minute or two. Then add the eggplants and lime leaves.
5) Boil 1 minute, then add the basil, stir and serve. You may want to garnish with bits of basil to make it look pretty.
