Preparation

1. Cut the chicken into uniform pieces and season lightly with salt. Wash and cut the eggplant, pepper and carrot into thin, uniform strips.
2. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes on all sides until light golden brown. Remove and reserve.
3. Add the green curry paste to the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes until it releases its intense aromas.
4. Pour in the coconut milk and kaffir lime leaves, mixing carefully to integrate the curry paste well.
5. Add the vegetables and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to absorb the flavors.
6. Add the chicken back and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender and the sauce thickens slightly, watching as the aromas fill the kitchen.
7. Taste and adjust salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
