Thai red chicken curry

Thai red chicken curry

This Thai curry is a real winner. By adding green beans to the chicken and fragrant sauce, only hot sticky rice garnished with coriander is needed to complete this delicious but simple dish.

Takes: 35 mins

1tbsp groundnut oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
2 small red onions, cut into thin wedges
3tbsp Thai red curry paste
2 x 400ml cans coconut milk (you can choose the low-fat version instead)
250g (9oz) fine green beans, trimmed
1 lime, zest and juice
2tbsp Thai fish sauce
8tbsp chopped fresh coriander

1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan, add the chicken and cook for 5 mins until golden. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the onion is tender. Add the curry paste and cook for just 2 mins.
2. Pour in the coconut milk, bring almost to the boil and then simmer for 10 mins.
3. Add the beans and simmer for 5 mins until just tender. Add the lime zest and juice, fish sauce and coriander just before you're ready to serve. Perfect with hot, sticky rice and a bottle of cool lager.

Top tip: To keep the flavours really fresh for any late arrivals, add the coriander and a squeeze of lime to each bowl as you serve it.

This is a wonderful recipe. I have cooked it once a week since finding it on your site. It tastes so natural and good, better than any take away i have had. Great too that it taskes so little time to prepare and cook. Thank you..

If you make your own red curry sauce (easy to do) just make it hotter as you wish by using more chillies.

This dsh sounds good but is it spicy hot?I have been trying to find the hottest thai dish as i am not that familiar with thai cooking, I was hoping to find a site that will tell me. I am a big fan of HOT! If you want to know what I mean by hot I have eaten a whole scotch bonnet and regularly eat fresh birds eye chillies.
