1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 tablespoons red curry paste, or more to taste

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. If you're using thighs, trim off any excess fat. If you're using breasts, slice them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Marinate the chicken: The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and make it more tender. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the curry from scorching.
  • Sauté the aromatics: Sautéing the onions, garlic, and ginger in a little oil will help to release their flavor and create a flavorful base for the curry.
  • Add the spices: Add the spices to the pot and toast them for a minute or two, until they become fragrant. This will help to bloom their flavor.
  • Add the tomatoes and coconut milk: Stir in the tomatoes and coconut milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with cilantro: Garnish the curry with cilantro leaves before serving. This will add a fresh, herbaceous flavor.

Conclusion:

This spicy red chicken curry is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is the perfect meal for a cold winter night or a special occasion.
