Ingredients: 1 tbsp vegetable oil 2 tbsp Thai green curry paste (according to taste) 1 tbsp soft dark brown sugar 1-2 thick stalks lemongrass, fat ends bashed with a rolling pin (optional) 750g chicken breast cut into strips 6-8 kaffir lime leaves, torn into pieces (if unavailable, use the grated zest of 1 lime) 400ml/14fl oz coconut milk 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce or light soy sauce A few basil leaves chopped fine Small handful of chopped coriander to serve (optional) 1 Zucchini sliced ½-1 lime, juice only Directions:
