Important note for this dish is that if you are planning on cooking it as part of an Online Thai Cooking Class Holy Basil or Tulsi then ensure that you are able to source the Thai Holy Basil 'Kapow' as often people can find it difficult to find this ingredient in some countries and when it is available it is likely only to be available via a specialist Asian food market/shop.   Substituting the Holy Basil for Italian or another type of Basil like Sweet Basil won't work as Holy Basil has it's own unique flavour and is also a little spicy.
