How to make Thai red chicken curry
The star of this recipe is the chicken. Start by slicing it in into small cubes and combined with one tablespoon of Garam masala.
Put it in the refrigerator for at least half an hour but overnight will intensify the flavors even more.
Preheat a skillet and add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Sauté the onion, bell peppers and garlic until they are soft and translucent.
Then add the chicken and pan fry until nice and brown. Now it is time to add the red Thai curry paste.
Stir it through before you add a little water so all of the curry paste and chicken mixture can be combined.
When most of the water has evaporated you can perform the last step and that is to add the coconut milk. Now let it simmer for a least 15 minutes so the chicken can become soft and tender.
Cook some Basmati rice while the curry is simmering and warm the flatbread in the oven. Wrap them in aluminum foil and heat them for 7 to 8 minutes.
Plate it up and start with some rice, then add the flatbread and a big helping of chicken curry. As you can see this is a great Friday night recipe which is made quick and easy.
Enjoy!
