Heat a hot wok and add 2 tablespoons of oil.

Fry 1 chopped shallot and 3 cloves of chopped garlic for about 30 seconds.

Add 2 tablespoons of Red Thai curry paste and 2 tablespoons of curry powder; mix and cook until darker and more aromatic, about 3 minutes.

Add 1 can of coconut milk and 750 ml of chicken stock; mix to combine.

Add 1 teaspoon of fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar; bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and let simmer for about 20 minutes.

In a hot skillet with oil, add deboned chicken thigh and leg seasoned with salt and pepper, skin-side down.

Cook the chicken until nicely browned and golden on both sides; set aside for at least 10 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check the sauce; it should coat the back of a spoon. Adjust seasoning with salt or sugar if needed.

Cut the chicken into strips like a cutlet.

Assemble the dish by layering fried sweet potato fries in a bowl, followed by cheese curds, then the crispy chicken, and finally pour the gravy over top.

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and add lime wedges for acidity.
