I got much of this from the side of a curry paste jar one day:
1/4-1/2 medium onion 3 cloves garlic 1/2 boneless chicken breast 2-4 tbs. curry paste 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup diced tomatoes 3-5 tbs. plain yogurt (optional) add more if you wish
1. Dice onion 2. Mince garlic very tiny 3. Dice chicken breast into postage stamp sized chunks. 4. Lightly cook chicken chunks over medium-medium/high heat in oil (olive, vegetable, etc...). 5. Add onions and garlic 6. Saute until onions are wilted 7. Add curry paste to taste. I usually use Patak's mild curry paste. 8. Fry and mix all together for about a minute. It might get a little smokey. Don't worry about the paste getting stuck to the frying pan. It will come off in the next step. 9. Add water, diced tomatoes and yogurt. We use canned diced tomatoes with chile peppers. stir well 10. Turn to simmer. Simmer 25 minutes. Consistency should be chunky, not liquid. If not, keep simmering. 11. Serve over rice or with flat-bread.
You can make this anywhere from mildly spicy (less curry paste, more yogurt) to reasonably hot (less yogurt, more curry paste).
