| Holy Basil This picante herb (Thai name, Kaprao) is the central herb needed for the Thai dish Pad Kaprao, which is typically cooked initially with a mixture of crushed hot chilli and garlic, minced chicken is then added. After the chicken is cooked, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and sliced capsicum are added. Stir through and cook for a few minutes before adding the Kaprao and a drizzle of water, cover and cook for a further minute before serving on a bed of thai jasmin rice. |
