This recipe came from my mom. She took a cooking class when they travelled to Thailand from a chef there....so it really is authentic:)
1 c. ground chicken meat
2 c. chicken stock or water
1 c. diced shallot( I used extra green onion)
4 T green onion
1 t. Chili powder or chili flakes
4 T roasted rice powder* (cut down to 3 T it was too grainy)
4 T lime juice
2 T fish sauce
¾ c. cilantro, chop
1/8 c. mint leaves
Heat up 2 c. water/stock. Quickly add ground meat. Mix constantly. Stir until chicken is cooked. Drain excess liquid. Add remaining ingredients, except mint(I added the mint in for the flavor). Mix well. Garnish with mint. *Rice powder: bake white rice in oven (I think I did it at 350, but I don't know how long. It was browning) Then put in food processor and ground into powder.

Penang Curry

Ok, Patri....here's one of....(how many do I owe you now?) I'm on the wrong computer for the rest of them, but we'll consider this a good start:)

Penang Curry

You need:
1 cup of chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 c. cocnut milk (I used half of the can:)
1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
2 to 3 tablespoons of penang curry paste
2 tablespoons of fish sauce
sugar to taste
2 lime leaves, finely shredded
10-15 basil leaves, finely shredded

Place a wok over medium high heat, and warm the coconut milk, but don't let it boil. Add the curry paste, and stir it until the oil begins to seperate out and form a thin film, to bring out the maximum flavour. Add the remaining ingredients except the lime and basil leaves, and simmer until the sauce is absorbed and thickened, then add the leaves and stir fry briefly before serving. Garnish with julienned red chillies, with steamed white rice, and the usual table condiments.

Sorry, I can't remember which site I swiped this from. I will hunt it down and post it later:)
