2. Cut the chicken breast into fine strips. Mix with 1 teaspoon of the curry paste, lime leaves, ginger, lemongrass and garlic. Let it marinate.
3. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1 cm cubes, peel the butternut squash (Hokkaido with the skin) and cut into cubes as well.
4. Bring the rest of the Massaman curry paste, 5 tablespoon coconut milk and the brown sugar to the boil until the whole thing is oily and smells. Then add the onions and the rest of the coconut milk to the saucepan and bring to the boil. Then add the chicken (with the spices), the potatoes and the pumpkin. Rinse the coconut milk can with the hot water and pour the liquid into the saucepan. After approx. 20 minutes add the frozen green beans, the canned peanuts and the fish sauce. Let simmer until all the ingredients are done and the beans still have a bit of bite. If desired, add more fish sauce and sugar to taste.
