Red Curry with Chicken, Bamboo Shoots and Basil

This is a rich, moderately hot red curry built on coconut milk, with tender chicken, bamboo shoots and bell pepper finished with plenty of fresh basil. Pork, vegetables or tofu can stand in for the chicken if you prefer, but the balance of salty, sweet and fragrant stays the same.
