If you prefer a more tame curry, then best to try this dish. Yellow curry is milder than red and green, but still gives you the authentic flavour of Indian dishes. It’s also filled with lots of veggies and infused with lemongrass.

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tsp

Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

2 clove(s), crushed

Skinless chicken breast

450 g, (buy 500g) lean, thinly sliced

Yellow curry paste

2 tbs

Light canned coconut milk

400 ml

Kaffir lime leaves

2 individual, torn

Fresh lemongrass

1 piece(s), pale section only, bruised

Zucchini

2 small, thinly sliced

Bok choy

1 baby, coarsely chopped

Canned bamboo shoots, rinsed and drained

180 g, (1 x 225g can)

Fresh basil

½ cup(s), (Thai)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until softened. Add chicken and curry paste. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until chicken is coated in paste.
  2. Add milk, lime leaves, lemongrass and ½ cup (125ml) water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
  3. Add zucchini, bok choy and bamboo shoots. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Remove and discard lime leaves and lemongrass. Stir in basil. Serve.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Steamed jasmine rice. TIPS: Bruising lemongrass releases more flavour. To do this, lightly crush the stem with the flat side of a large knife until it breaks apart slightly.Yellow curry paste has a milder flavour than red or green curry paste. Find it at major supermarkets or Asian grocery stores. If unavailable, use red or green curry paste to taste.
