Instructions

Combine the curry paste ingredients in a small bowl.
Heat a large frying pan or a medium-sized wok over medium-high heat, then add the canola oil. Fry the curry paste for 30 seconds.
Add the chicken, water, sugar and salt. Turn the heat up high and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for ten minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prep the vegetables.
Once the ten minutes is up, add the baby sweetcorn to the pot and simmer for two minutes.
Add the eggplant and simmer for three minutes.
Add the bamboo shoots and simmer for two minutes.
Stir through the coconut cream and fish sauce. Return to the boil, then remove from heat.
Taste the curry for seasoning and flavour. Adjust to your preferences. (Note 1)

To serve

Spoon some rice into bowls or plates, then ladle over the curry.
Set the garnishes on the table and allow everyone to help themselves.

Notes

If you need more punch and seasoning then add more fish sauce. Otherwise add salt.
