- Add the chicken and kaffir lime leaves and cook until the chicken looks cooked.
- Add the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, chicken stock and brown sugar.
- Bring to the boil.

Notes
- Why not double up the paste recipe – it will keep for 3 weeks in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer. I keep ginger in the freezer and peel and grate off what I need. Chillies also keep well whole in the freezer.
