What you need,

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces

In a large pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is browned and almost cooked through.
Add in the grated ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the red curry paste then add the chicken broth, fish sauce, sugar and turmeric.
Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Add the chili pepper and bamboo shoots to the pan. Stir in the coconut milk and pineapple. Let the curry simmer gently for about 5 minutes until the pineapple is heated through.

Serve over a bed of coconut rice and garnish with a little fresh basil.


To make the coconut rice add 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a pot. Add in 1 cup of jasmine rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
