Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently sweat the shallots for 5 minutes until they start to soften. Stir through the garlic, lemongrass, red pepper and green beans, and fry for a couple of minutes.
Add the Kallo Garlic & Mixed Herbs paste to the pan along with the coconut milk and bring up to the boil. Turn the heat down to a steady simmer and stir through the red curry paste, fish sauce and sugar.
Add the rice and simmer for 10-12 minutes by which time the rice should be almost cooked and the vegetables tender.
Stir through the cooked chicken and cook for a couple of minutes until it is hot all the way through.
Finally, squeeze in the lime juice and taste to check the seasoning, you may need to add a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately, scattered with the spring onions, chilli and coriander.
