This rich, tasty curry is quick to make and relatively healthy with the lovely aromatic flavour of Kaffir lime leaves.
Mix the sweet soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper thoroughly with cubed chicken and put to one side while you prepare the sauce and the rest of the ingredients.
For the sauce, finely chop the lime leaves then add to a blender with with the spring onions, garlic and cumin seeds, chilli (if desired) and pine nuts. Blend until it becomes creamy. Stir in the rest of the sauce ingredients. You can add more or less fish sauce and lime juice to taste.
Heat up a large frying pan, add the oil and brown the chicken pieces.
Add the sauce to the pan and stir until it coats the chicken and becomes fragrant. Pour in water or stock and bring it to a simmer.
Cook until meat is tender and the sauce has reduced to thicken. Adjust seasoning and lime juice according to taste.
Serve with Jasmine or plain boiled rice.
