Pound the onions, garlic, ginger, peppers, and spices into a paste.
Fry the spice paste in oil for 6 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces and sear on all sides.
Add the coconut milk, lemongrass, and salt.
Cook over low heat for 32 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
Balance with lemon juice and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Patiently frying the spice paste removes the raw onion taste and brings the curry oil to the surface.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with steamed rice and cucumber slices.
