Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, grape seed)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp ginger, minced
- 1/2 - 1 tsp red chilli, minced (optional)
- 1 small onion, sliced (brown, white, yellow) or 3 eschallots
- 1.2 lb / 600g chicken thigh fillets (or breast), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 - 5 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste
- 1 can (400ml/13oz) coconut milk (full-fat is better, but low-fat is fine too)

- 1 cup mango puree, preferably fresh (1 large mango)
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 kaffir lime leaves
To Serve
- Steamed jasmine rice

- Add chicken and cook until white all over but still raw inside.
- Add curry paste and saute for 2 minutes until fragrant.
