Simple Panang Curry Recipes

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed pot, heat the 3 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream to high for about 1 minute. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir in the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Add the onion and half of the makrut lime leaf chiffonade. Stir-fry the paste until the paste starts to thicken, dry out, and become fragrant, about 1 minute. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
• Stir in the remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil. Allow the curry to boil until it reduces by about 25% or coats the back of a wooden spoon, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the chicken, tamarind paste, fish sauce and sugar. When the chicken is about halfway cooked, about 5 minutes, add the bell pepper and zucchini. Let simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the bamboo shoots and Thai basil leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately over jasmine rice and garnish with a few ribbons of the remaining makrut lime leaf.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok or large pot over medium-low heat. Add curry paste; cook and stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Pour in coconut milk; bring to a boil. Add chicken; cook until almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime leaves. Simmer until sauce flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
• Ladle chicken and sauce into a large bowl. Garnish with red chile peppers and basil.

Steps:

• Brown the ground turkey and drain.
• Saute the panang curry paste until it starts to look a bit oily. Be careful not to burn the paste.
• Add one can of the coconut milk to the paste and stir until well incorporated.
• Add fish sauce, potatoes, bamboo shoots, and red peppers. Simmer gently until the potatoes are almost cooked through. Watch carefully so that it doesn't scorch.
• Add in the ground turkey and stir to cover the ground turkey in the sauce.
• Add the kaffir lime leaves, cilantro and thai basil to taste. (We use large handfuls of the cilantro and the thai basil.).
• Serve hot over rice, garnishing with additional basil or cilantro as desired.
