Easy %26amp; Delicious Thai Red Curry Chicken
This easy Thai Red Curry is fragrant and sumptuous, and can be made anywhere from mild to red-hot, depending on how much spice you prefer. It's a healthy and hearty curry dish that will awaken your senses and boost your mood. Note that in Thailand this curry would be simmered in a wok over a stovetop, but in this case I have adapted it to suit Western cooking methods so that it can be baked in an oven (easier for most North Americans). This means it can be put together and in the oven in under 20 minutes! ENJOY!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 00 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 medium chicken, cut into parts (remove as much of the skin as possible)
2-3 kaffir lime leaves (purchased frozen at Asian stores), OR substitute 1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 cinnamon stick (OR substitute 1/2 tsp. cinnamon)
fresh basil and coriander/cilantro for garnish
RED CURRY SAUCE:
1 can coconut milk
2 shallots OR 1/2 cup purple onion, sliced
1 thumb-size piece galangal (or ginger)
3 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp. tomato ketchup, OR tomato paste + 1/2 tsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
2 heaping tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. shrimp paste (available by the jar at Asian stores)
1-2 fresh red chilies, minced, OR 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, OR 1/2 to 1 tsp. crushed dried chili
VEGETABLES:
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2-3 tomatoes, sliced into wedges
optional: 1-2 cups chopped eggplant (leave skin on), OR 4-5 Thai eggplants
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place chicken pieces in a fairly large casserole dish.
Place all curry sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process well.
Pour the curry sauce over the chicken. Stir well, so that each of the chicken pieces is covered with sauce.
Add the kaffir lime leaves and cinnamon, mixing these into the sauce.
Cover and bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove dish from the oven. Add the vegetables and stir them into the sauce. Return the curry to the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is well cooked.
Do a taste test. If the sauce isn't salty enough, add more fish sauce (1 Tbsp. at a time). If it's too sour, add a little more brown sugar. If too spicy, add more coconut milk. If not spicy enough: add a few fresh-cut chilies or dried chili flakes/cayenne pepper.
Dish the curry into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with fresh basil and coriander/cilantrol, and serve with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice. ENJOY!

cats and dogs lolWhat are some good Thai recipes?
I have personally made red and green curries they are really lovely but different because they use coconut milk. I have made them for friends who loved them.
Thai fish cakes are also wonderful. I made these for a dinner party as a starter. I made too many and froze the rest. Alas they do not freeze well, eat them fresh.
If you Look on the web you will find recipes for these dishes.
Enjoy
