Method
    1. Prepare the Curry Base:
      Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant. Add red curry paste and cook for a minute, stirring constantly.
    2. Cook the Chicken:
      Add chicken pieces to the pan. Cook until the chicken turns white on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
    3. Add Vegetables:
      Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well. Add sliced red and yellow bell peppers, and onion. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
    4. Finish and Serve:
      Squeeze lime juice into the curry for a burst of freshness. Adjust seasoning with more fish sauce or sugar if needed. Remove from heat.
    5. Serve:
      Spoon the Thai chicken coconut curry over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot and enjoy the aromatic and flavorful Thai delight!
    Pro Tips
    • Vegetable Options: Feel free to add other vegetables like bamboo shoots, baby corn, or peas for extra texture and flavor.
    • Creamy Texture: For an even creamier curry, you can use full-fat coconut milk.
    • Marinating Chicken: Marinate the chicken pieces in a bit of fish sauce and lime juice for 15-20 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor.
