Red bell pepper (1, sliced)
Onion (1, chopped)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)

Instructions

In a large pan or wok, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces. Cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the curry paste and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to release their flavors.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Season with fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and salt to taste. Stir well and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
