Step 1
Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 2
Add curry paste, turmeric, and minced galangal. Stir constantly until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Add chicken and stir until edges look opaque, about 3 minutes. Don't worry if it's not cooked through.
Step 4
Pour in coconut milk and add sliced shallots. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
Squeeze lime juice over the top, add whole chilies for heat. Taste and adjust salt. Serve hot with rice.
