2 tsp fresh ginger (, finely grated )
1 tbsp lemongrass paste (or finely chopped fresh (Note 3))
3 tbsp vegetable oil ((or canola or peanut))
1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth/stock (, low sodium)
400 ml / 14 oz coconut milk ((full fat!))
6 kaffir lime leaves ((Note 4))
1 tbsp sugar ((white, brown or palm))
2 tsp fish sauce (, plus more to taste)
350g / 12 oz chicken thighs ((boneless and skinless), cut into 0.75 / 1/3" thick slices (Note 5))
150g / 5 oz pumpkin or butternut squash, ( cut into 1.5cm / 3/5" cubes (~1 heaped cup))

Fresh coriander / cilantro leaves
Steamed jasmine rice

Steps:

Heat oil in a large heavy based skillet over medium high heat.
Add curry paste and Extras (if using jar paste) and cook for about 2 minutes so it "dries out" (See video)
Add chicken broth and stir to dissolve paste. Simmer rapidly for 3 minutes or until liquid reduces by half.
Add coconut milk, lime leaves, sugar and fish sauce. Stir, then add chicken.
Spread chicken out, bring to simmer, then turn heat down to medium. Simmer for about 8- 10 minutes or until Sauce reduces, the chicken is cooked and the sauce is almost at the thickness you want.
Do a taste test. Add more fish sauce (or even shrimp paste) to add more saltiness, sugar for sweetness.
Add pumpkin and beans, stir. Cook for 3 minutes or until pumpkin is just cooked through and Sauce is thickened - see video for Sauce thickness.
Remove from heat. Stir through a handful of Thai basil leaves.
Serve over jasmine rice, garnished with fresh red chilli slices and fresh coriander/cilantro leaves, if desired.

One 15-ounce can baby corn, drained, rinsed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 Thai chile or serrano chile, stemmed and thinly sliced
5 sprigs Thai basil, with stems

CREAMY COCONUT THAI CURRY

Creamy Coconut Thai Curry image

A beautifully creamy curry, this dish is incredibly easy to prepare. It can be made in advance and left to marinade for a deeper flavour, or eaten immediately if you can't resist the smells eminating from the kitchen! The version below is fairly mild, but if you prefer it a little hotter, just add more chilli to taste. Kafir lime leaves are available from most large supermarkets these days. If you can't get them fresh, you may find them dried, or jarred.
