The key to this very simple recipe is to use a good [[Curry paste|curry paste]]. All supermarkets sell many brands of curry paste and they are all good. Look out for Thai green curry paste or Thai red curry paste. My favourite is Cok Brand [[Curry]] Paste but I've only seen it in [[Oriental stores]].

The resulting [[Curry|curry]] is just warmly spicy, but not hot. Use this as the base curry and as chopped fresh [[Green chillies|green chillies]] or [[Chilli sauce|chilli sauce]] to add the actual heat.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 1.5 tablespoons [[Oil|oil]] or [[Butter|butter]] for [[Frying|frying]]. Margerine or butter spreads don't really work very well.

| 400 ml [[Coconut milk|coconut milk]]
| Enough leftover cooked [[Turkey|turkey]] for two people
| 1 handful of [[Dried fruit|dried fruit]] such as [[Raisins|raisins]], [[Sultanas|sultanas]], [[Apricots|apricots]] etc. (optional)
| Chopped fresh [[Green chillies|green chillies]] or [[Chilli sauce|chilli sauce]] (optional)
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] in a [[Frying pan|frying pan]], saucepan or [[Wok|wok]]. Not too hot, don't let it start to smoke.
| [[Fry]] the chopped [[Onions|onions]] for 5 or 6 minutes util they turn golden [[Brown|brown]].
| Stir in the [[Curry paste|curry paste]] so it coats the [[Onions|onions]].
| Turn down the heat and pour in the [[Coconut milk|coconut milk]] and stir well.
| Add the cooked [[Turkey|turkey]] and the [[Dried fruit|dried fruit]] (optional) and gently [[Simmer|simmer]] for about 10 minutes while the [[Boiled rice|boiled rice]] is cooked.
| You can serve the [[Curry|curry]] immediately or leave it for an hour or so and just reheat when you want to serve it.
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Boiled rice|boiled rice]] and chopped fresh [[Chillies|chillies]] or [[Chilli sauce|chilli sauce]].
===Variations===
If everyone wants a hot [[Curry|curry]], stir in [[Chilli powder|chilli powder]] to taste (about 1 to 2 teaspoons) with the [[Curry paste|curry paste]].

If you need to bulk this out to stretch to four people, add a can of [[kidney beans]] or similar. If you need a little more liquid, add a slug of [[beer]] or [[lager]].
===Chef's notes===
Many curry pastes are water-based so do not keep well in the fridge, however, they freeze very well and often the contents can be spooned out while the paste is still 'frozen'.
