1. In a food processor or pestle and mortar blend or grind the galangal and turmeric into a paste.

2. Place the galangal paste in a saucepan with the coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.

3. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked through.

4. Meanwhile, mix the shrimp paste and palm sugar in the fish sauce and lime juice until disolved.
