Add curry paste (red or green whichever you like most). In this curry, add chicken pieces and keep stirring.

Once the chicken pieces are totally immersed in the curry, it’s time to add the finely sliced lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, kaffir lime leaves and coconut milk. Coconut milk is an important part of Thai cuisine; it is not only nutritious but lends a wonder aroma and taste to the preparation.
