Burmese Chicken Curry (Gaeng Gai Bama) Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Burmese Chicken Curry (Gaeng Gai Bama) Recipe). This is actually a northern Thai dish with a definite Burmese influence. I first ate it in a Burmese restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. I asked for the recipe and of course I didn't get it. I later experimented with some Thai recipes and came up with this final result. We really love this with steamed jasmine rice. It's quite a hot and spicy dish, so if you want it a bit mild, check the curry paste you use first. You can replace coconut milk with evaporated milk, but traditionally, coconut milk is a must.
