Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Method

  • Chop up chicken into 1 inch cubes and cook in batches until just cooked on the outside.
  • Remove from pan.
  • Fry the curry paste in the oil to release the flavours.
  • Slowly add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the lime leaves, capsicum and chicken (tear the leaves a little to release the flavour more) and lightly simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  • Add the fish sauce and palm sugar towards the end of cooking.
  • Garnish with Coriander leaves.
  • Serve with rice.
  • You can add sliced bamboo shoots if you want.
  • Also if you aren't used to spicy heat, start with 1 tablespn of curry paste and add the rest later to your liking.
