Method
Musaman Curry Paste Blend or process all ingredients except the water until combined. Add enough water to make a paste. Makes 1/3 cup.

Chicken Peanut Curry 1. Cut fillets into large chunks; trim away any skin and excess fat. 2. Heat ghee or oil in a large frying pan; add onions, palm sugar, ginger and bayleaf and stir over medium heat for 4 minutes, or until onion begins to soften. Stir in curry paste and cook a further 2 minutes, or until fragrant. 3. Add chicken; cook until lightly browned on all sides. 4. Add coconut cream and bring to the boil. 5. Transfer to a casserole dish and bake at 160C for 2 hours. Alternatively, reduce stove top heat and simmer (covered) for half an hour or until chicken is tender. 6. Remove chicken and cover with foil to keep warm. Transfer remaining liquid to a pan and place over high heat. Blend cornflour with water. Slowly pour flour mixture into the sauce, stirring continuously. Heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring occasionally. 7. Meantime, heat extra oil in a fry pan. Add peanuts and garlic and cook over medium heat until lightly browned. 8. Return chicken to the pan with the sauce, and stir until mixture is hot. Transfer to a serving dish; sprinkle with the peanut mixture.
