Steps

1

Cover the bottom of a large pot with oil. Medium-low heat.
2

Add onion. Cook until slightly caramelized and translucent. Should take just a few minutes
3

Add garlic. Cook another minute.
4

Mix in paste. Cook until paste is soft (easily breaking apart) and oils are escaping. Should just take about a minute.
5

Slowly add coconut cream. Then add sugar, kaffir lime leaves (but hold off on the lime juice if using limes), fish sauce (and chili oil if adding). Mix. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
6

Taste the curry mixture and salt (and add any other ingredients) to taste. Make it salty, veggies will mellow it out.
7

Add carrots. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
8

Add potatoes. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
9

Check that you can easily cut through a carrot with a spoon. Simmer another few minutes if not.
10

Add chicken. Let simmer for another 10-15 minutes.

Cut the heat. Add fresh/dry basil (and lime juice to taste).
