I N F O This curry originates from the northeast of Thailand. Any small game, chicken, a meaty freshwater fish or eel can be taken in place of the guinea fowl, stalked bamboo shoots or banana flowers can be substituted for the melanzane, and the banana leaves can be lined with sweet basil to expand the aromatic spectrum. The traditional method of folding banana leaves is a tiny bit tricky, but after a few tries you should be able to do it. If not, simply fill a few small baking dishes lined and covered with the leaves and then steam them.

The extra steaming means this curry will keep longer than usual, up to 2 days. Wrapped, it could easily be taken to the rice fields as a prepared lunch or sold at a nearby market.

T H E R I N g First, cook the paste.Heat water or possibly clear soup, add chicken or possibly guinea fowl and saute over medium heat. When meat is firm, add paste and season with fish sauce.

Drain melanzane well and add to curry form. Saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, then sprinkle in the ground toasted long grain rice. Mix well, and when the curry thickens after another min, remove from the stove and cool.

Taste: it should be salty, spicy, slightly bitter and nutty.

Cut banana leaves into ellipse shape, 8 cm wide and 12 cm long. O
