Add all the ingredients for the paste along with little water in a processor to make a fine paste. Keep this covered as it has a tendency to oxidize and change color.

In a pan heat the oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 2 minutes or till they are very lightly brown .Let them be slightly under cooked at this stage as they will cook in the curry later.

Remove the chicken and all the vegetables. Sauté on medium flame for few minutes. Any vegetables can be used for this curry. Chicken can be skipped for a vegetarian version.

Add coconut milk and the paste. Season with salt. Add the chicken.

Bring the curry to boil.

Serve hot with rice OR if you are on the whole30 diet eat it as it is!
