Ingredients
steps
- Over medium heat, reduce coconut cream by half. Add in the shallot, curry paste, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until the shallots are translucent and the curry paste has darkened. Add in the brown sugar and allow to melt fully, stirring occasionally.
- Add coconut milk and curry leaves to the mixture and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add in fish sauce and Thai basil stems. Transfer to a storage container and allow to cool.
- Place 4 ounces of curry in a saucepot and add fish. Bring to a simmer, and once fish is almost cooked through, add in roasted vegetables. Adjust seasoning with lime and salt if needed. Place rice in the bottom of a bowl and spoon curry on top, ensuring fish and vegetables are evenly spread out. Garnish with thai basil leaves, mint, and fresh lime.
