Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges turn opaque, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in curry paste until well combined, then pour in coconut milk and lime juice.

  4. Step 4

    Add corn kernels and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens, about 7 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Toss cabbage with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice to make a quick slaw.

  6. Step 6

    Warm roti in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side. Divide rice into bowls and top with curry and slaw.
