Red Coconut Chicken Curry image

This dish can be quite hot and spicy depending on the brand of curry paste used. the variety in the pouch (instead of the jar or can) tend to be milder. For those sensitive to spicy food, reduce the curry paste to 2 teaspoons. In a pinch, use mild Indian curry paste. Serve over rice. From Canadian Living Magazine.
