A simple and delicious recipe for Burmese Chicken Curry (Gaeng Gai Bama). It is amazingly easy to prepare yet tastes like it has taken ages to prepare. The coconut milk and the spices provide a nice combination of smooth flavours.

8-10 shallots, thinly sliced
1 lb boneless chicken breast (2 breasts), cubed
1 1/2 - 2 tbsp red curry paste (depending on hot spicy you like)

1/2 cup coconut milk
4 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp palm sugar
2 tomatoes, medium sized, cut into wedges
1/4 cup coriander, chopped
