| Instructions |
|
 |
Put all the green curry paste ingredients in a food processor and whizz to a smooth green paste. |
 |
|
 |
Marinate the chicken in a little of the paste for 30 minutes. |
 |
Then add a little oil and the chicken pieces to a hot casserole-type pan or wok. Fry for 4 minutes. |
 |
Then add the remainder of the marinade - it will sizzle and spit. |
 |
Stir in the coconut milk, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked. |
 |
|
 |
Season to taste. The flavor should have a kick but be reasonably mellow - very fresh and fragrant.
Sprinkle with the pistachios and some coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice or noodles, and chunky coconut, tomato, cucumber and lime relish.
