Its end of summer and wanted I to use the last batch of basil leaves from my garden. I was looking for Thai recipes, because they make use of lots of basil in their recipes which are usually very tasty and flavorful.
I'm really happy that I came across this recipe because it solved the purpose. I actually made it a bit dry but can be made little saucy too. So now give Gka Prow Gai a try!
1lb Chicken Tiny Pieces/ Mince
6 Pods Garlic Chopped
1 Small Onion Chopped
25 Chopped Basil Leaves
1 Tsp Red or Green Chilly Paste
1 Tblsp Soy Sauce
1 Tsp Brown/Palm Sugar
1 Tblsp Oyester/ Fish Sauce
3 Tblsp Cooking Oil
Salt to taste
METHOD :
Clean and cut the chicken into very small pieces. You can even mince the chicken for this recipe.
Heat oil in a pan until really hot and fry the chopped garlic followed by onion. Add the palm sugar and chilly paste and fry well. As soon as onion turns transparent add the chicken and cook well. Add about 2 tablespoons of water if necessary.
As the chicken is cooking through, add the soy sauce and fish sauce. Adjust salt, add the basil leaves and stir together until the dish is almost dry.
You can even switch off stove and take it out while its still saucy.
Goes really well with rice or roti. If you are planning to serve it as a starter, make it out of chicken strips.
