this curry. You may substitute fresh garden peas which satisfies the
visual appearance. Allow the coconut milk to stand for one hour or
until it separates. Skim about 1 cup thick coconut cream off the top.
Put coconut cream, galangal and fish sauce into a wok or saucepan.

stirring frequently. Add remaining 2 cups of coconut milk, citrus
leaves, 1/2 cup of the basil, chilies and peas. Bring to a boil,
