Notes
- To cook on the stove top
- Heat a little oil or ghee in a pan and briefly brown the chicken over high heat. Add the curry paste and stir until fragrant. Stir in one cup (250ml) chicken stock and bring to a rolling boil then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce is reduced.
