  1.  Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan, then add the onions and fry for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the curry paste and leaves and fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  1. Fresh curry leaves give this an authentic flavour. Buy them in Indian stores, or use dried ones from large supermarkets.
