SIMPLE PANANG CURRY
This is the recipe we use at our house to make panang curry. It's very basic without frills or many extras and generally uses what we always have in the pantry, including canned curry paste. Adjust the heat by adjusting the amount of curry paste that you add. I make large batches of this of 10 to 12 servings, so that we have plenty of leftovers. My kids love this dish as written, which is very spicy! But if you are not a spice lover, start with 2 Tablespoons or less of the curry paste for 3 pounds of ground turkey. You can also substitute other protein sources, including tofu, beef, shrimp, and chicken.

PANANG CHICKEN CURRY
Steps:
- In a heavy bottomed pot, heat the 3 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream to high for about 1 minute. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir in the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Add the onion and half of the makrut lime leaf chiffonade. Stir-fry the paste until the paste starts to thicken, dry out, and become fragrant, about 1 minute. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
- Stir in the remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil. Allow the curry to boil until it reduces by about 25% or coats the back of a wooden spoon, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the chicken, tamarind paste, fish sauce and sugar. When the chicken is about halfway cooked, about 5 minutes, add the bell pepper and zucchini. Let simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the bamboo shoots and Thai basil leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately over jasmine rice and garnish with a few ribbons of the remaining makrut lime leaf.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
- Use a large pot: Panang curry is a hearty dish, so you'll need a large pot to cook it in. A Dutch oven or large saucepan works well.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add the vegetables and chicken to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables and chicken will not cook evenly.
- Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
- Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with rice or noodles: Panang curry is traditionally served with rice or noodles. Jasmine rice or basmati rice are both good choices.
