Grind the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cashews, and hot peppers into a paste.
Fry the spice paste in vegetable oil for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken thighs and sear for 6 minutes.
Add the lemongrass, bay leaves, salt, and hot water.
Cook the chicken covered for 22 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and thicken over low heat for 15 minutes.
Remove the lemongrass and bay leaves, then serve hot.
