Quite often do a simple, basic, Thai red curry at home. Quick, easy and way tasty.
Brown off a couple of cubed chicken breasts in a little oil and set aside. Fry off 2-3 tablespoons thai red curry paste in the same pan (I personally like the Sainsbury�s one but guess Blue Dragon etc every bit as good) then slowly add 1 full can of coconut milk stirring all the while. Bring to the boil for a few mins until you see a sort oil rising to the surface. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer, fairly gently, for around 15 Minutes stirring occassionally. Add 1 red pepper, cut into chunky strips, and 1 sliced red chilli, de-seeded for you by the sounds of it. Return to the boil for around another five minutes and serve
Jasmine rice is best with this, but basmati would also do. I would avoid the quick cook and pre-coooked bag stuff.
Other times go the whole hog with lime leaves, fish sauce etc but the above is a simple tasty mid week comfort food.
