Thai Green Chicken Curry


Description

The fragrance of this curry is just lovely.

Ingredients

600g chicken thigh fillets, sliced
1/2 bunch coriander
1 stalk lemongrass, white part finely chopped
2 small red chillies, seeded and chopped (use Thai green chillies if available)
2 cloves garlic
5 cm piece ginger, chopped
2 tbsp peanut oil
2 kaffir lime leaves, sliced as finely as possible – into threads
400 ml can coconut cream
1 small zucchini, sliced into ribbons
50 g green beans, topped, tailed and sliced
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice

Directions

Wash the coriander thoroughly. Scrape and chop the roots, and chop the stems. Reserve the leaves for serving. Place in the bowl of a mini food processor with lemongrass, chillies, garlic and ginger and grind into a paste.

Place 1/4 tsp peanut oil in a chef pan over high heat and quickly stir fry 1/4 of the chicken until starting to brown. Remove to a bowl and repeat with the remaining chicken and oil.

Put a few drops of oil in the wok and stir fry the curry paste for 2 min or until fragrant. Add the chicken back into the wok and toss to coat in curry. Add kaffir lime leaves and coconut cream.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 7-8 min or until chicken is cooked through. Add brown sugar, fish sauce and lime juice. Taste and add more of any of these things as your taste dictates. In the last minute of cooking, add the zucchini and beans.

Serve scattered with coriander leaves.
