Thai Gaeng Panaeng Gai

Panaeng Curry with chicken

Last week we cooked a Thai Panaeng Curry with chicken. This time with chicken as the main ingredient. For this “Gaeng Panaeng Gai” ( แกงพะแนงไก่ ) I used the Panaeng Currypaste from Yak Thai and was very satisfied with the result.

Ingredients for 3-4 servings

  • 500g chicken breast
  • 4 tbsp Panaeng Currypaste
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • a piece of palm sugar (ca. 15g)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • one large mild Thai chili
  • 2-3 kaffir lime leaves
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Preparation

First, cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and prepare it for immediate use.

Next, heat the oil in a wok or large high-sided pan and fry the curry paste until it releases its aroma. Then add the meat and stir-fry it with the paste until the meat changes color. Add the coconut milk and stir well. Reduce the heat slightly and let the curry simmer for a few minutes.

Now stir in the fish sauce and palm sugar and let the curry simmer for about a quarter of an hour. In the meantime, cut the kaffir lime leaves into thin strips. This works well if you stack the leaves and roll them lengthwise before cutting them. Then cut the chili into thin strips.

Finally, serve the finished Gaeng Panaeng Gai in bowls, garnished with kaffir lime leaf strips and chili strips, and serve immediately with steaming hot jasmine rice.
