- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 medium onion chopped (1 ½ cups)
- 2 tsp kosher salt divided use
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 can unsweetened coconut milk 14 ounces
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 lb chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper sliced (1 cup)
- 1 small zucchini sliced (1 cup)
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced (1 cup)
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves torn (ideally thai basil leaves, but italian works)

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and 1 teaspoon of the salt, and sauté until it starts to soften.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and curry paste and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and brown sugar.
Add the chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots to the pot along with remaining teaspoon of salt.
Bring the curry to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook uncovered for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Sprinkle on the fresh basil leaves just before serving. Serve with lime wedges if desired.
