Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large saucepan and fry 3-4 tbsp curry paste (depending on how hot you want the curry to be) for a minute until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and milk, stir well and bring to a simmer.
  2. Add the potato and butternut squash and cook for about 10 minutes until it is almost tender, add the rest of the veg and thin the sauce with a little water if you need to. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. For the veggies, transfer half the curry to another pan. For the non-veggies, add the chicken or prawns to the remaining half. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chicken or prawns are cooked through and season with fish sauce.
  4. Serve both curries with the coriander sprinkled over and steamed jasmine rice.

Making it low fat

Rather than overloading this with 400ml high-fat coconut milk, you could use 200ml coconut milk, 200ml milk (plus the additional 250ml milk).
