Dinner party (Part 2 - Main meal. CHICKEN PENANG CURRY)

Chicken Penang Curry is a regular in our house. We have tried many Penang Curry pastes over the years, and by far the best we have had is the Valcom brand (available at most supermarkets in the Asian section).

The recipe is on the back of the jar - basically put 4 Tbsp Penang Curry Paste and a bit of oil into a wok and cook for a minute or two until fragrant. Add 500g chicken and cook until it starts to brown. Add one tin of coconut milk, 1 tbsp sugar, and a couple of tbsp fish sauce.  Add the veggies (I used brocolli and carrot, but cauliflower and green beans are also nice) and simmer until the veggies are cooked.  Right before turning off the heat, add kaffir lime leaves. Serve with Jasmine rice.

I doubled this recipe and it easily caters for 6-8 people.
