Enjoy the exotic flavours of succulent chicken marinated in ginger, garlic and curry powder, simmered to perfection in a savoury coconut cream sauce. Ready in minutes!
Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, place in a bowl and add the ginger, garlic, fish sauce and curry powder. Mix well and set to one side.
Place a wok over a medium heat, add the oil and gently soften the onion until tender and translucent. Add the chicken, increase the heat to medium-high and brown the chicken all over.
Once the chicken is partially cooked and browned, add 500ml (2 cups) of water (if cooking for 2) and the curry leaves and give everything a really good mix. You can add the green beans at this point if you wish, or cook them separately. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Finally, add the coconut cream, stir and continue to cook until slightly thickened. Check for seasoning and adjust with salt to your preference.
