My way of doing thai curry is not strictly thai style - it's hybridized between Indian and Thai. I fried onions and curry paste in oil, then tossed the chicken chunks in that mixture. I also threw in a couple of finely diced habaneros (which caused my hands to burn for two days afterwards). After the chicken was partially cooked, I added a can of coconut milk and brought it to simmer. After that i threw in some zucchini and green peppers - couldn't find thai eggplant, not that THAT is a surprise at all.
Ate it w/ rice, cilantro, and freshly snipped bird's eye chilis. Next time I cook something interesting i'll get some pictures up.

IT'S LIKE IM REALLY IN /CK/
Alright let me tell you about these little fuckers here. A lot of people think that these are split peas.
WRONG. These are yellow lentils, lens culinaris. Lentils are a member of the pulse family of plants, and they are packed to the brim with dietary fibre and motherfuckin protein. They will make you a beast. Get a crock pot, put some onions and garlic in that bitch. Sweat that shit out on low with a little oil, then add some chopped chili pepper, cumin, and tumeric. Maybe a little fresh curry leaf if you feel like it. Then add equal volumes lentils and stock. I use chicken stock but you can use vegetable stock. I don't give a damn.
Put the lid on and simmer that shit, stirring occasionally.
Eat with some rice.
Did I mention that lentils are super inexpensive, healthier, and much tastier than RAMEN?
