Method

  1. To make the curry paste, put all the ingredients in a small, powerful food processor or bullet blender. Add 150ml/¼ pint water and blitz until blended. Set aside.

  2. To make the curry, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium–high heat. Add the red onion, pepper and chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes.

  3. Add the curry paste and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, until aromatic. Add the coconut milk and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  4. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the packet instructions.

  5. Stir the pak choi and mushrooms into the curry and simmer for 4–5 minutes.

  6. Stir in the fish sauce, bring to the boil and remove from the heat. Ladle into warmed bowls, garnish with Thai basil leaves and serve immediately, with the jasmine rice.
