Fry the shallots in 2 tablespoons of oil over a low heat until golden brown and |
crispy but not burnt. Drain then set aside. Use the remaining 2 tablespoons oil |
to fry the curry paste and powder over a low heat until fragrant. Add the |
chicken pieces; stirring to coat with the curry mixture. Add enough water to |
cover the chicken then bring to the boil over a medium heat. Turn the heat to |

remaining tomatoes. Cook further until the tomatoes are softened but not too |
mushy. Add in the coriander leave and top with friend shallots before serving. |
