To make the curry paste, soak the dried chillies in hot water for 10-15 minutes or until softened. Remove the chillies from the water (it doesn’t matter if you don’t drain them completely as some water is fine). Reserve the chilli soaking water. Roughly chop the chillies and then place them into the bowl of a food processor. Then add the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth, adding some of the chilli soaking water a tablespoon at a time if the ingredients aren’t blending smoothly. Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add half the curry paste and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes. Then add the chicken and stir-fry until the chicken starts to colour. Stir through the coconut milk. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes. Taste the finished curry for seasoning. Add the fish sauce and palm sugar and taste again to see if you would like to add more. Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with coconut cream and top with kaffir lime leaves and slices of red chilli.
