Thai Red Chicken Curry

Easily my favourite Thai dish, and one of THE most easy curry's you can make. I often tell people that making things from scratch is always superior, but the one time I make an exception is with Thai curry pastes, particularly the ones from Mae Ploy.

Step 1

Pour one tin of coconut milk into a wide pan and add the curry paste. Bring to a gentle simmer and reduce, stirring often, until thickened and glossy as the oil starts to rise to the surface.

2 400 ml tins Coconut milk

100-150 g Thai red curry paste

Step 2

Add the chicken and stir so it is well coated in the thick curry base. Pour in the second tin of coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for about twenty five minutes, stirring now and then, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced to a rich consistency.

1 kg Boneless skinless chicken thighs

Step 3

Add the baby corn and cook for another five minutes until just tender. Season with fish sauce, brown sugar and lime juice to taste. It should balance between salty, sweet, sour and hot.

150 g Baby corn

2 tbsp Fish sauce

1 tbsp Soft brown sugar

1 Lime

Step 4

Spoon into bowls and top with Thai basil and sliced red chilli. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.

Notes

If you’re not a fan of spice, I’d suggest reducing the amount of curry paste because not all pastes are made the same, and some can be packed with chilli.
