Instructions
In a large Dutch oven, heat the 3 Tablespoons coconut cream over medium heat until bubbling and then add curry paste and lime leaves. Stir fry until the paste thickens and starts to brown.
Add in remaining coconut milk and bring the sauce to a slow boil. Allow to boil for 10 to 15 minutes or until the sauce reduces by about a quarter and coats the back of a spoon.
Reduce heat to a simmer. Add peanut butter, fish sauce, tamarind concentrate, and palm sugar. Stir well to combine.
Mix in chicken and heat again until simmering. Add Thai basil, bamboo shoots, onion, bell pepper, and baby corn and mix well. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Taste and add any additional fish sauce, tamarind concentrate or palm sugar to balance the flavors to your liking.
Cook Roti Bread according the package directions.
Serve the curry with the roti bread and/or jasmine rice and topped with roasted peanuts. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
