    Begin by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2 cm in size, and set them aside.

    2

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut milk over medium heat until it begins to separate. Stir in the green curry paste and cook it for about 2 minutes, allowing it to become fragrant.

    3

    Add the chicken pieces to the pot, stirring well to coat them in the curry paste. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.

    4

    Pour in the remaining coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for an additional 10 minutes.

    5

    Add the eggplant and bamboo shoots to the pot, cooking for another 5 minutes until the eggplant is tender.

    6

    Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime leaves, allowing the mixture to simmer for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.

    7

    Finally, toss in the Thai basil right before serving, making sure to stir gently to incorporate the herbs. Remove from heat and serve hot with steamed rice.
