Ingredients
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Oil

  • 500 gr Boneless Chicken Breast (diced into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 Tsps. Ginger and Garlic Paste
  • 1 Tsp. Coriander Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Chilli Powder
  • Salt, or to taste
  • ½ cup Sliced Red Peppers
  • 125 gr Sliced Mange Tout

  • 1 165ml Can Coconut Milk or Cream

Instructions
  1. To a large pan add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. Add the chicken, garlic, ginger, coriander powder, chilli powder and cook for about 5 - 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Stir frequently.
  3. Add the red peppers, mange tout, Thai curry paste, lime juice, and brown sugar if using and stir to combine.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium, and allow mixture to gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until liquid volume has reduced as much as desired and thickens slightly. You want the veggies to remain crisp.
  5. Add the coconut milk and cook gently for another 5 minutes.
  6. Taste for seasoning and add additional curry paste, and salt if needed.
  7. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve immediately with Jasmine Rice.
Notes
Be careful with the salt as the Thai Curry Paste does contain salt.
