This is quite a popular street food recipe in thailand. I wanted to try this for quite a long time, but i put it aside in my bucketlist because i couldn’t get fresh basil leaves in my place. Yesterday when we went shopping i saw few veggies on the rack, immediately i picked out quite a few of them. I saw this basil leaves at ridiculously cheap price, it was just 10 Rs. I picked 4 bunches of it.
