Literally throw it all into a pot or slow cooker and that’s it! You don’t even have to brown off the chicken.
For the curry paste, you can use any of the following: red curry paste, malaysian rendang curry paste, malaysian nyonya curry paste or thai yellow curry paste.
Cook time: 2.5 hours in the oven or 4 hours in the slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1.2 kg chicken thighs diced into large pieces
  • 1 brown onion large, finely choped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 3 cm ginger piece finely chopped
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves smashed with a wooden spoon
  • 2 stalks lemongrass smashed with a rolling pin
  • 100 g jarred curry paste see recipe intro for types
  • 600 ml canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup cashews finely chopped
  • 2 cups pumpkin chopped
  • 1 zucchini chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups green beans chopped (frozen are fine)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C conventional (150°C fan-forced) or have your slow cooker ready.
  • Throw all the ingredients (except the cashews, pumpkin, zucchini and beans) into an ovenproof casserole pot or your slow cooker.
    1.2 kg chicken thighs, 1 brown onion, 3 cloves garlic, 3 cm ginger piece, 6 kaffir lime leaves, 2 stalks lemongrass, 100 g jarred curry paste, 600 ml canned coconut milk
  • Cover with the lid and cook in the oven for 2 hours or in the slow cooker on high for 3 hours. Remove the lid, add the cashews and veggies, then cook for another 1 hour. If the liquid is evaporating too much, add a little more coconut milk.
    1 cup cashews, 2 cups pumpkin, 1 zucchini, 1 1/2 cups green beans
  • Remove the lemongrass stalks from the curry. Serve on rice and add some coriander or spinach and yoghurt if you wish. Enjoy!
