HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN MASSAMAN CURRY

- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the curry paste and fry, stirring all the time until it becomes fragrant and aromatic, around 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken, potatoes, pepper, onion and ginger and stir well, coating them completely in the paste. Cook for about 5 minutes before adding the coconut cream, fish sauce and sugar. Simmer gently on a low to medium heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through.
- Just before serving, add the water chestnuts and Thai basil. Serve with rice.
