Gaeng Ped Gai Heb Fang (Chicken and Straw Mushroom Curry)

By the look of this dish, the Chicken and Straw Mushroom Curry dish, I can’t wait to grab the bowl of steamed jasmine rice (khao rice) and start eating with it.

I notice that the coconut flavor is enhanced by adding half the coconut milk towards the end of the cooking process.

Ingredients:

  • 800g boneless cubed skinned chicken
  • 275g rinsed fresh or canned straw mushrooms
  • 350ml thin coconut milk extract
  • 175ml thick coconut milk cream

  • 2 coriander plants
  • 1 tbsp toasted coriander seeds
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves
