Ingredients:
Directions:
  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high flame. Sauté the garlic and onions until just softened and fragrant.

  4. Now add and stir in the ghost chili pepper sauce, coconut milk, lime juice, chopped tomatoes, ketchup, chicken stock, rice vinegar, and salt to taste.
  5. Again place the lid on the skillet, bring to a good boil and cook, stirring now and then, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the liquids have thickened nicely.
  6. Serve your Curried Coconut Chicken while nice and hot, garnished with a few fresh leaves of basil, and with a side dish of freshly cooked rice.
