Instructions

  • To make the curry paste, put all the ingredients in a blender or food
    processor, and purée to a smooth paste, adding a little water if needed.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or preheated wok over a
    medium heat until almost smoking. Add the garlic and fry until golden.
    Add the curry paste and stir-fry for a few seconds before adding the
    aubergine. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the coconut cream, bring to the boil and stir until the cream thickens
    and curdles slightly. Add the fish sauce and sugar to the frying pan, and
    stir well.
  • Add the cod and stock. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally,
    until the fish is just tender. Add the lime leaves and basil, then cook for a
    further minute.
  • Transfer to a warmed large serving dish, and serve immediately
