For the rice

1. Heat the oil in a large pan or wok and add 4 tbsp of the curry paste. Cook over a medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to smell fragrant. Stir in 2-3 tbsp coconut milk and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in remaining coconut milk.

2. For the chicken, chop the chicken into bite size pieces and add to the pan with the apple and pea aubergines. Simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the ginger and kaffir leaves. Cook for a further 5 minutes, then season with the palm sugar, fish sauce and the Thai basil leaves.

Reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Set aside, covered, for 10 minutes.

4. Garnish the curry with Thai basil leaves and red chillies and serve with the rice.
