You possibly will not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes gaeng khio wan kai but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat gaeng khio wan kai or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories a day, and then one day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have just been conscious of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Gaeng Khio Wan Kai (Green Chicken Curry)

Posted by WingsFan91 at recipegoldmine.com 11/14/2001 6:24 pm

The Thai name of this dish literally means "sweet and sour chicken curry." There is a very similar recipe for a red curry (Gaeng phed kai).

As always, the quantities are up to you.

Curry Paste
15 to 30 fresh phrik ki nu (birdseye chiles)
10 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped galangal
1 tablespoon thinly sliced lemon grass
1/2 teaspoon zest of "kaffir" lime (ordinary lime will do)
1 teaspoon chopped coriander (cilantro) root
5 white pepper corns
1 tablespoon roasted coriander seeds
1 teaspoon roasted cumin seeds
Dash of fish sauce
1 to 2 teaspoons fermented shrimp paste (kapi)

Mix in a mortar and pestle or food processor. Will keep about a month in a fridge. You can buy commercial green curry paste (Mae Ploy brand is quite good), but as far as I am aware all commercial pastes contain MSG and preservatives.

The curry
6 ounces chicken (in smallish bite-size pieces)
1/2 cup coconut milk
4 ounces Thai eggplant (these are small round eggplants)
2 kaffir lime leaves (or a little lime zest)
1 tablespoon sweet basil
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar

Oil for cooking
1 to 3 tablespoons green curry paste

Cut the chicken up, then briefly fry the curry paste until fragrant, reduce the heat, add the coconut milk slowly, and continue to stir whilst cooking until a thin film of oil appears on the surface.

Add the chicken and other ingredients except the eggplant. Bring to a boil and cook until the chicken begins to change color. Adjust the flavors to suit yourself. When it is at a boil again add the eggplant and continue till the chicken is cooked through.

Serve over rice, or in a serving bowl with other Thai dishes.
