Instructions
To make the paste
- In a food processor, or using a pestle & mortar, blend the paste ingredients together to form a smooth paste. If you're using a pestle & mortar, add each fresh item separately in the order they're listed then stir in the powdered items. It's hard work, but no pain no gain etc.
To make the curry
- Heat the oil in a wok, and over a medium heat and when hot, add the curry paste. Sizzle for 30 seconds, stirring to avoid sticking before adding 1/2 the coconut milk.
- Let this bubble for 5 minuets to reduce, stirring regularly.
- Add the remaining coconut milk, salt, fish sauce and sugar and stir well.
- Tip in the vegetables and simmer for 2-3 minutes until just soft before adding the cooked chicken. Stir and remove from heat.
- Squeeze over lime juice and test for salt/fish sauce - adjust as you see fit! I always serve mine with plenty of jasmine rice.
