My wife is Thai and she taught me how to cook this. I make it every Saturday for our lunch. I can only get a reasonable approximation as they don't sell the Holy Basil locally here in AU and the variety of chillies is limited but still, I get a thumbs up every time. Of course, an egg on top and washed down with a cold beer.

- tayo42 3y agoIf your really making it once a week, just get seeds for holy basil. Herbs are simple to grow.
- Affric 3y agoBunnings sell them as plants and you can cultivate from that. Holy Basil is actually native to northern Australia. Those are my Australian Holy Basil facts.

- Affric 3y agoIt varies at my local Thai supermarkets. But my Thai friends preferred buying it from Bunnings because otherwise they might be tempted to get it dried and it’s just not the same.
