1 kg beef
1 cup of sweet basil
6-7 leaves kaffir lime leaf
1 1/2 palm sugar
1 1/2 fish sauce
1-liter coconut milk (you can add 250ml water if need be, for example, your coconut milk is too thick or youd like to add more vegetables into the curry)
500 ml water + 500 ml coconut milk for beef braising
180 g eggplant (after cleaning)
60 g pea eggplant (after cleaning)
*If you want to add more vegetable items, its good with bamboo shoot
**Garnish with finely sliced red chilies

Paste
1/2 cup chopped lemongrass
1/2 cup chopped Thai shallot
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1 1/2 tbsp chopped galangal
1 tbsp kaffir lime rind ( from 1 whole fruit)
5 Green spur chilies (peppers) or 80 grams
6 medium (2 inches long) green bird eye chilies
1-1 1/2 shrimp paste (recommend 1 tbsp for store-bought shrimp paste)
2 spice spoons roasted cumin seed (before grinding)
2 spice spoons roasted coriander seed (before grinding)
2 spice spoons white peppercorn (optional, if youd like to lift the taste of spice)
2 coriander root (optional, if youd like to raise herbal aroma)
*No sea salt added in the paste as I use some salt when I braise the beef, and the shrimp paste I use is fresh and has a good balance already.
**Spice spoon is 1 ml of capacity
***If you are not happy with the green color, you can add 5-6 leaves of blanched sweet basil.
