Instructions
Heat coconut oil and saute onions on medium heat till translucent.
Then add chickenalong with ginger and garlic. Sear on high heat till it changes colour.
Stir in the red curry paste, salt and black pepper.
Then add the bell pepper and stir fry on high heat for only a minute. Do not cook more than that as we will be cooking the bell pepper further in the sauce.
Pour the coconut milk and chicken broth along with fish sauce, soy sauce, paprika powder, and brown sugar. Mix and wait until a boil comes.
Lower the heat and simmer for around 10 mins or until the curry thickens to your desired consistency.
Add the lime juice, stir and remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh coriander, lime wedges, sliced red chili and serve with a side of boiled jasmine (or even basmati) rice.

Notes
I have used a vegetarian store-bought red curry paste. Add the paste depending on how strong or spicy you prefer.
You can replace lime juice with lemon but use half of the amount instead.
