Recipe Introduction

Coconut milk makes a wonderfully mild and sweet aromatic base for this Thai-accented low fat chicken curry. Chili garlic sauce and curry powder add the the kick, so feel free to adjust the quantities of these to suit your taste. Many supermarkets now routinely stock canned coconut milk and chili-garlic paste. Be sure to use the lite coconut milk, which is considerably lower in fat than the regular version.
