QUICK SOUTH EAST ASIAN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot or fry pan on medium heat. Fry onion and garlic for about 3 minutes until soft.
• Add ground cumin, coriander, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, curry paste, sugar and about 1/4 cup of the coconut cream. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, so the paste does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

• Add chicken and continue to cook for a further 5-10 minutes until potatoes and chicken are cooked all the way through. In the last 3 minutes of cooking time add beans to cook briefly.
