👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a food processor or blender, combine the shallots, ginger, garlic, Thai chilies, and galangal. Puree to a smooth paste.
2
In a wok or large saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the herb paste and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
3
Add the diced eggplant and cook for another 5 minutes, until it begins to soften.
4
Pour in the fish stock or chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the mild curry powder and tomato paste until well combined.
5
Add the fish chunks and minced cilantro to the curry. Season with fish sauce and crushed red chili flakes (if using). Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce if needed. If the curry is too thick, add a splash more stock or water. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and sliced scallions.
