Made this yesterday for mothers day, everyone was absolutely amazed how nice it was. Had to use red Thai paste and also used breast instead of thigh. Loved the fried shallots as a garnish, just very thinly sliced them and shallow fried on low/med in sunflower oil for 10/15, let them dry off whilst cooking the curry.

Do you have any recipes for the paste?

Hi Katie! This recipe was developed with a shop-bought curry paste – we really recommend using a quality brand like Mae Ploy as the flavour will be much more concentrated.

Really tasty. As a coeliac I can’t have oyster sauce so subbed for soy and fish sauce on the chicken and in the broth. Used one lime and it was strong enough… I feel two limes would be too strong. Was a bit confused about the “fried” shallots at the end because it wasn’t in the recipe to cook any- is this a pre prepared thing? A shame if so, because I feel a crispy element would have been good with this. Would make again and perhaps air fry some onions as pre prepared ones aren’t gluten free.

Such a simple recipe to make. I make this one pretty much every week because its so easy and incredibly delicious. I love that there is a little kick to the yellow curry.
I like to start my chicken cooking early on, as the curry doesn't take long to come together and I've found that it's often ready before the chicken. Also I link to boil the curry for a few minutes longer to get it a bit thicker.

By slice the coriander stems I assume you mean chop? Slice seems to imply lengthwise.
Also, be nice if you could recommend a suitable beg for incorporating, plus method

8 chicken thighs, but what weight does that equate?

Hi Anna! Boneless chicken thighs vary in weight between 120-140g each, so 8 thighs will weigh approx 1kg.

Made this for dinner tonight. I fried the chicken until crispy but finished in the over to ensure cooked through. I found yellow paste easily enough. Also used three limes. On tasting it was quite strong but I added more salt and it balanced out.

Sweet Christ, this was delicious! I used red curry paste as I couldn’t find yellow, and put an obligatory pile of broccoli on the side. It was great for leftovers al desko the next day.

Really tasty! Couldn't find yellow curry paste in my local supermarket so just added a bit of turmeric to some red.

Delicious! I only added half a lime as others had suggested and used an air fryer to cook the chicken, I also added Swiss chard because I had some, I think you get huge flavour pay off for not much work, yum!

Substituted half of chicken with chickpeas (last 5min of cooking in soup) and added steamed greens on the plate. Great dish!

Excellent recipe. I cooked it for my Fiancée and myself and we both loved it. I couldn't find yellow Thai paste so used green and used chicken breasts.
