Cook’s tip: Be careful not to overcook the curry paste – only fry until it colours slightly and becomes aromatic.
Ingredients
Method
Put potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water over a high heat and boil for 8 minutes or until cooked through. Drain and set aside.
Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add curry paste, stirring for 2 minutes or until aromatic.
Add coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly.
Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes. Add beans and cook for a further 3 minutes. Return potatoes, then remove from heat and stir through Thai basil.
Put curry in 4 serving bowls. Garnish with basil. Serve with rice and lime wedges on the side.
