Penang Curry with Chicken (Gaeng Penang Gai)

Thai Translation – Gaeng= Curry, Penang = Penang, Gai = Chicken

This creamy chicken curry will be a favourite in no time. Its very easy to make and tastes amazing when you make your own curry paste too! Adding extra vegetables like pumpkin, eggplant or potato will not only stretch the dish further, but will make it that little bit more nutritious too.
