THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Peel shallots or onion and cut in half from top to root. Lay the cut sides flat on a board and thinly slice. Very finely slice the lemongrass, starting at the thinner end, stopping towards the base when it gets tough (often described as 'woody' and white in the centre).
• Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan for a couple of minutes until the oil separates (it looks more liquid at this point). Add the shallots or onion. Fry for 3-5 mins, until soft and translucent. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 min, stirring all the time.
• Add chicken pieces and stir until they are coated. Add the lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, lime leaves and coconut milk. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked. Stir the curry a few times while it cooks, to stop it sticking and to keep the chicken submerged.
• While the chicken is cooking, strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, gather into a pile and chop very roughly. Taste the curry and add a little more curry paste and salt if you think it needs it. Stir half the coriander into the curry and sprinkle the rest over the top. Serve with Thai jasmine or basmati rice.

FRAGRANT CHICKEN, CORIANDER & COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• Whizz together the coconut milk and coriander (leaves and stalks) in a food processor, then tip out and set aside. Quickly wipe out the machine, add the garlic, ginger and chillies, then whizz with enough water to make a paste.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan. Brown the chicken well on all sides, then remove. Add the onion, cloves and cinnamon and fry until lightly coloured. Add the chilli paste to the pan, then cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• Return the chicken, then stir in the powdered spices and coconut paste. Bring to a boil, cover the pan, then cook for 40-50 mins, removing the lid halfway through cooking so the sauce can thicken. Check the chicken is cooked, stir in the tamarind paste, season to taste, then add a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
