My shortcut to preparing a dish that resembles this Thai delight:

1. • chicken
   • 1 3/4 cups canned coconut milk
   • 2/3 cup water
   • 2 tablespoons lemon grass paste
   • 2 tablespoons ginger paste
   • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste (or brown sugar and = part lime juice)
   • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
   • 1 tablespoon cardamom
   • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
   • 1 tablespoon onion powder
   • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
   • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
   • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
   • 1 teaspoon black pepper
   • 1 teaspoon sea salt
   • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
   • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Combine ingredients and simmer. Add sauce to cooked chicken, then top with cashews and fresh avocados. Serve with white rice.
