Ingredients

  • 150ml coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp green curry paste (see below)
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves, torn
  • 6 pea eggplants
  • 100ml fish sauce
  • 100g palm sugar, shaved from block
  • 300ml coconut milk
  • 2 long green chillies, deseeded and sliced
  • 4 baby corn, halved
  • 5 snake beans, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup (about 1 bunch) Thai basil leaves
  • Jasmine rice, to serve

Fish dumplings

  • 300g boneless ocean trout, skin removed, coarsely chopped
  • 200g green prawn meat, deveined, coarsely chopped
  • 8cm piece ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 6 coriander roots
  • 1½ tsp white peppercorns

Green curry paste

  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 4cm piece galangal, peeled and chopped
  • 2 lemongrass, white part only, chopped
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 6 coriander roots, scraped and cleaned
  • 6 long green chillies, deseeded
  • 8 green bird's eye chillies
  • 2 tbsp wild ginger or chopped fresh ginger
  • 2.5cm piece fresh turmeric, chopped
  • 1 tbsp shrimp paste, roasted
  • 1 tbsp grated lime zest, preferably kaffir

Spice mix

  • 1½ tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp mace
  • 1 tsp white peppercorns

Preparation method

1 To make fish dumplings, mince trout and prawn meat in a mortar and pestle or food processor. In a mortar and pestle, pound ginger, coriander root, white peppercorns and 2 tsp sea salt into a rough paste. Add spices to fish mixture and pulse until incorporated. With slightly damp hands, roll slightly rounded tablespoonfuls into about 16 balls. Place on a tray and refrigerate about 30mins or until needed.

2 Meanwhile, make curry paste. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and bright green.

3 To make spice mix, wet coriander, cumin and mace. Drain, then dry roast in a heavy-based frypan over medium heat for 10-15mins. Place roasted spices and 1 tbsp sea salt in a food processor and grind to a fine powder. Stir into curry paste. Curry paste will keep in an airtight container in fridge for 4-6 days.

4 To make green curry, heat coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add curry paste and fry until fragrant. Stir in lime leaves and eggplant. Add fish sauce, palm sugar and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Check seasoning (mixture should be hot, salty and slightly sweet); adjust to taste if necessary. Add chillies, baby corn, snake beans and fish dumplings. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5mins. Remove from heat and stir basil through. Serve with jasmine rice.
