🥗Healthier: homemade curry paste

💰Cheaper: curry powder

Homemade curry paste can be healthier with fresh ingredients.

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add garlic, ginger, and lemongrass; sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in red curry paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release flavors.

Pour in coconut milk and stir to combine with the chicken.

Add peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar; mix well.

Simmer the curry for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.

Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with cilantro.
