HFG Thai chicken curry
(at time of publication)
Instructions
Step 1 Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Heat the oil over a moderate heat in a large pan. Fry the onion and garlic gently until soft. Add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry until browned.
Step 2 Add the curry paste and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the paste is evenly dispersed.
Step 3 Add the evaporated milk along with the sugar and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, until some of the milk has reduced. Taste and adjust the seasonings to suit.
Step 4 Add the vegetables to the pan. If you like more liquid, add a little water. Cook another 5 minutes, then add the lime zest, chilli, basil and coriander, if using. Turn off the heat and leave to sit for 5 minutes. Serve with plain jasmine or basmati rice.
HFG Tip
If you can't find coconut-flavoured evaporated milk, use 3 capfuls (about 15 ml) of coconut essence to 1 can of lite evaporated milk.

Was inspired to make my own Thai Chicken Curry after eating the same at a great Thai place...
This recipe is great, easy and healthy.
I put about 1.5 tablespoons of curry paste in, just to make it a bit spicier.
Simmering it for 10 mins (after putting in evap. milk) made the sauce a bit thicker than I would have liked but that is easily solved by not simmering for as long, or thinning down with milk.
Served with rice... YUM... will definitely make it again.
