Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp peanut oil , you'll need 2 half tbsp separately
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs , all visible fat removed
1 medium onion, quartered and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp green curry paste , thai kitchen brand is recommended
1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated , can be substituted
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp fish sauce
200 ml light coconut milk , see fat reducing tip in comments above
200 ml coconut milk, regular fat
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp fresh thai basil, chopped
1/2 cup whole dry-roasted cashews

Directions:

On medium high, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a non stick fry pan - a stove top wok works really well for this - and quickly brown (don't overcook) chicken thighs until golden and caramelized. Remove them to a sprayed casserole (with lid).
In the same pan heat another 1/2 tablespoon oil and caramelize the onion and garlic.
Lower the heat and add the curry paste, brown sugar, ginger, lime juice and fish sauce.
Stir in the coconut milk, cilantro and Thai basil.
Pour over the chicken, cover with the lid and bake in a 300 degree F preheated oven for one hour. Check and stir after first 30 minutes. Continue to cook until tender. Stir in cashews.
Cool to room temperature and serve on basmati rice the next day.
