Serves:
1
Preparation Time:
5 minutes
Cooking Time:
8 minutes
Total Time:
13 minutes

Step 1: You will need

  • 1 large red chilli
  • ¼ green bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp peanuts
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ tbsp red chilli paste
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • a few fresh basil leaves
  • 1 lime leaf
  • 1 knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 wok
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 pestle and mortar

Step 2: Prepare

Slice 1 fresh red chilli. Somchai wears a glove to protect her skin from the chilli juices. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly once you have finished chopping to get rid of the chilli.
Cut quarter of a green bell pepper and quarter of a red bell pepper into small strips.

Step 3: Peanuts

Take 2 tbsp of peanuts and crush them using a pestle and mortar.

Step 4: Chicken, chilli and coconut milk

Slice a chicken breast into strips.
Place the wok on a high heat and add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add 1.5 tbsp of red chilli paste. Then add about half of your 200ml of coconut milk, the same as 1/4 of a tin. Stir well.
Add 1 sliced chicken breast and stir so that the chicken is thoroughly coated in the mixture.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is mostly cooked and then add the other 100ml of coconut milk.

Step 5: Final additions

Now add 1 tbsp of fish sauce
1 tsp of caster sugar
and the crushed peanuts.
Also add the chopped chilli, peppers
and a few basil leaves.
Stir well.

Step 6: Simmer

Leave the curry to simmer for 2 minutes. Then add a pinch of chopped lime leaf

Step 7: Serve

    Your picture is rather misleading in that, like all Asian curries, you just don't eat the curry by itself -- you must have rice to go with it. Also, the spelling and pronunciation leave something to be desired. You can either spell it as Kang or Kaeng, meaning curry in Thai, and Panang or Panaeng which is the name of the curry. In Thailand you just say Panang Kai (chicken) or Panang Nua (beef, the usual ingredient for this dish).
