Thai green chicken curry

new potatoes,cut into chunks

green beans,trimmed and halved

vegetable oil

garlic clove,chopped

tbsp

coconut milk

tsp Thai fish sauce

tsp caster sugar

boneless skinless chicken(breasts or thighs), cut into bite-size pieces

lime lime

basil leaves

boiled rice,to serve

Put 225g new potatoes, cut into chunks, in a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/five-best-saucepans">pan</a> of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.

Add 100g trimmed and halved green beans and cook for a further 3 minutes, by which time both should be just tender but not too soft. <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-colanders">Drain</a> and put to one side.

In a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-woks">wok</a> or large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil until very hot, then drop in 1 chopped <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-garlic-gadgets">garlic</a> clove and cook until golden, this should take only a few seconds. Don’t let it go very dark or it will spoil the taste.

Spoon in 1 rounded tbsp Thai green curry paste and stir it around for a few seconds to begin to cook the spices and release all the flavours.

Next, pour in a 400ml can of coconut milk and let it come to a bubble.

Stir in 2 tsp Thai fish sauce and 1 tsp caster sugar, then 450g bite-size chicken pieces. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

Tip in the potatoes and beans and let them warm through in the hot coconut milk, then add 2 finely shredded kaffir lime leaves (or 3 wide strips lime zest).

Add a good handful basil leaves, but only leave them briefly on the heat or they will quickly lose their brightness.

Scatter with lime to garnish and serve immediately with boiled rice.

Cauliflower might not be a traditional ingredient in larb recipes, but the toasted rice powder is. Look for sticky rice in the bulk bin and the international section.

Preheat oven to 450°. Toss cauliflower with oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and well browned, 35–45 minutes. Let cool slightly; chop into pea-size pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add chiles, lemongrass, lime leaves, fish sauce, and lime juice; toss well.

Meanwhile, place rice in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Toast, shaking pan constantly to keep rice moving, until evenly browned, 10–15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Grind in spice mill to a semifine powder.

Toss scallions, pea shoots, cilantro, mint, and 2 tsp. toasted rice powder into cauliflower mixture; season with salt. Serve with cucumber, lettuce, and remaining rice powder to make lettuce cups.
