How To Make my thai coconut chicken curry
-
1Pound or blend all paste ingredients until ground smooth (or reasonably so) using a spice grinder or, preferably, a granite mortar and pestle.
-
2Place chicken pieces in an oiled baking dish and add the lemon grass stalks.
-
3Add the curry paste mix to the coconut milk. Stir together until well combined and add to the dish. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
-
4Remove dish from oven and lower temp to 335 degrees add the potato, bell pepper and carrots. Stir well, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 35 minutes (or until chicken, potatoes and carrots are well cooked).
-
5Remove from the oven. Stir and taste, adding more salt if not salty enough. If too salty for your taste, add a little more lime juice. Add additional fresh chilies if you prefer more spice. If it’s too spicy, add a little more coconut milk. If too sour, add a little more coconut sugar.
-
6Top with the Thai Basil and serve with rice.
