Tip
you can use any mild flavoured oil
Keep the chicken pieces on the large side. If your thighs are small just cut into 4. The chicken sheiks during cooking and the large size prvents them from being slightly chopped during cooking. You can use recede but this may cause the coconut cream to burn slitely on the bottom of the bowl.
serve topped with chopped dry roasted peanuts
you can freeze any left over sauce and use later with lightly steamed vegitables.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

This is an easy and very tasty recipe. Really enjoyed this meal and so did my hubby.
shazzamercer: try grating the lemon grass. You don't get those hard woody bits.
This was delicious. Full of flavour and kids managed it to as it wasnt too spicy for them. Will defo be a regular in this house.
My lemongrass also didnt chop the best even after chopping several times.
OMG! This is amazing 😋
I didn’t have a couple of things, so did this:
Used powdered lemongrass, instead of fresh.
Used zest of 1/w lemon, plus some dehydrated lime zest, instead of kaffir leaves.
Used coriander instead of Thai basil.
Added a handful of spinach leaves at the end - cooked 2 more minutes.
Blanched some carrots, cauliflower, & broccoli, and put that on rice, and poured the curry over the top.
Authentic Asian flavours - yum!!
an amazing recipe
I haven't tried this dish yet in a restaurant, but i found this recipe DELICIOUS! I loved the fact it uses red thai curry paste, as I had some in the fridge. We left the thai basil out as did not have. The only thing I would change is the chunks of lemongrass and kafir lime leaves.
This is so delicious!
Delicious. A family favourite!!!
This is amazing, mine was super hot so added more sugar and another can coconut... Still hot but so yum. Next time I'll do 1tbspn curry as mine were probably 2heaped tbspns and my kids won't eat it this hot.. but I will. Yum! My lemongrass was not too large it's how you get it when you buy so no issues. Chipped my chicken breast small and cooked for 9mins with butterfly also! Thanks 😍
Flavour is great but having to pick lemongrass stalk out of my teeth every mouthful is just too much, and I even chopped twice at the start.
