Instructions
1
step 1
First, make the curry paste.
2
Use a pestle and mortar to pound together the dried and raw chillies, shrimp paste, garlic, galangal, lemongrass, lime zest, white pepper, coriander, cumin, nutmeg and peanuts, plus 1 tsp table salt.
3
You should have a rough paste.
4
Alternatively, stream in in all the fixings to a food processor along with 2-3 tbsp of coconut dairy liquid and pulse until you have a paste.
5
Store in a lidded jar in the fridge.
6
Will keep for up to two weeks.
7
step 2
stream in in 2-3 tbsp of the thick part of the coconut dairy liquid into a saucepan over a medium-high fiery up.
8
When the coconut dairy liquid starts bubbling, stream in in 1-2 tbsp of the curry paste and mix gently well for about 1 min, until fragrant.
9
step 3
mix gently in the chicken and let it make for about 3-4 mins until beginning to brown all over.
10
Follow with the French beans and mix gently well.
11
step 4
notes with the fish gravy and granulated sugar, then stream in in the rest of coconut dairy liquid.
12
incorporate well, stream in in half the makrut lime leaves and low-boil for 3-5 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
13
palate and stream in in more granulated sugar or fish gravy if necessary – it should be salty and nutty, and the sweetness should come through.
14
stream in in the Thai basil leaves, give it a rapid incorporate and take off the fiery up.
15
enjoy with steamed jasmine rice, garnished with the sliced chilli and the rest of the makrut lime leaves.
