Preparation

  1. To make the paste:

    • Trim, peel and rinse all the ingredients then blend together into a smooth paste. Adjust seasoning to taste then cover and chill (can be frozen) until needed.

  2. To make the curry sauce:

    • Fry the paste for 2-3 min. in the oil then add coconut milk, stock, potatoes, tamarind, sugar, peanuts and cinnamon then bring to the boil and simmer for 12-15 min. or until the potatoes are cooked. (This sauce can be held at this stage ready for addition of vegetables and chicken to order during service.)

  3. Finishing the curry:

    • Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring to the boil then add the vegetables and chicken then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 min. Turn off the heat, allowing the chicken to cook through gently in the hot sauce over 1-2 min. Season to taste.
    • Serve topped with coriander, the remaining peanuts and coconut rice.
