Thai Pumpkin And Chicken Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the curry base In a blender, combine the shallots, garlic and curry paste with 2 Tbs. water and process until smooth. In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and brown sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Cook the curry In a wok or large fry pan over medium heat, warm 2 Tbs. of the oil. Add the chicken and sear until light brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a bowl.
• Return the pan to medium heat and add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil. Add the curry base and cook, stirring, for about 10 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the coconut milk mixture and bring to a boil. Add the pumpkin, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork. Add the chicken, and continue to simmer until the chicken is opaque throughout, about 5 minutes more.
• Transfer the curry to a serving bowl, garnish with the basil and serve immediately with steamed rice. Serves 4.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to hot oil. Stir in onion, 2 tablespoons curry paste, garlic, harissa, onion salt, and garlic powder; cook until onion is soft and chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in enough cornstarch to thicken. Pour in 1 can of coconut milk. Add remaining curry paste and pumpkin. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
• Uncover and add peas, beans, and chile pepper. Stir in brown sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, and sea salt. Pour in remaining can of coconut milk.
• Transfer the mixture into a 2-quart baking dish or oven-safe bowl. Arrange biscuits on top of the filling. Brush tops with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Remove all excess fat from chicken thighs.
• Dice chicken into 2-3 cm pieces.
• Peel pumpkin, dice into 2X3 cm pieces.
• Wash beans, cut off tail ends.
• Cut beans into 4-5cm pieces (typically just halve them).
• Heat oil in wok then add the curry paste and shallots, cook, stirring for about 2 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add chicken, stir in fish sauce, stir-fry until just starts to be tender. You may add a little water, but you'll find that the chicken pieces release enough water to cook them.
• Chicken should be nearly cooked when you add the pumpkin pieces and 100 ml water. Simmer for 3-5 minutes covered, then add green beans. Simmer for a further five minutes. Make sure neither the pumpkin, nor the beans become too soft. The beans should stay slightly crunchy.
• Stir in coconut milk/cream. Raise heat until just to boil. Simmer uncovered until the mixture is heated through.
• Shred some coriander leaves -- place some on the surface of the red curry, save the rest for garnish on serving.
