6. Take Kaffir lime leaves on your palm and crush it. Add crushed kaffir lime leaves to the pan.  Note - If you can’t get palm sugar , substitute with brown sugar or jaggery.  Crushing kaffir lime leaves helps release its wonderful aromatic oil, making Panang curry flavorsome. Cook stirring regularly for 2 minutes.
7. Simmer flame. Pour in thick coconut milk. Give it a good stir.Let it cook for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Add few Thai basil leaves. Stir.
8. Turn off flame. Thai Chicken Panang Curry is ready. It’s great when served with steamed jasmine rice. You can also serve Thai Panang curry with rice noodles.
