- 1 teaspoon mustard seed
- 1 teaspoon Fenugreek Seed
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon dried lemongrass

- Add spice paste cooking and stirring until fragrant, about 2 minutes
- Add coconut milk, vegetable stock, jackfruit, bay leaves, and fish sauce, bringing to a boil.
- Reduce heat and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally about 30 minutes.
- Stir in lime juice, basil leaves, and cilantro/parsley
- Taste and add more salt if needed (this will depend on if you used fish sauce)
- Remove from heat and stir in nuts.
- Serve with basmati or jasmine rice.
Notes
- *Thai chilies are quite hot, use caution when working with them. (gloves are a good idea) One seeded chili gives a fairly subtle heat, adjust according to your heat tolerance level.
- *If you can't find Thai basil, any basil works just as well.
- *You can substitute cashews or peanuts for the macadamia nuts, or leave out the nuts altogether.
- * While simmering, the curry will reduce and thicken, If you like it saucy, add more vegetable stock.
- Fish sauces can vary greatly in how salty they are. Start with ¼ tsp, taste and add more if needed.
