Green Curry Sauce1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir onions and garlic with 1 tablespoon of canola oil until softened.

3. Stir coconut milk and soy milk into the saucepan and bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of spoon.
4. Remove pan from heat and stir in cilantro and lime juice.
5. Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend mixture until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
6. Set aside until assembly.
Tomato Ginger Chutney1. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil; add onions and ginger and stir while cooking for 4 minutes, or until onions have softened.
2. Add brown sugar and rice wine vinegar to the pan and bring to a simmer over low heat; add tomatoes and cinnamon and bring back to a simmer.
3. Allow chutney to reduce over low heat for 25 minutes, or until chutney has appearance of a wet salsa.

2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and bake on a baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until no longer pink in the middle.
3. To cook the rice for the curry, add basmati rice to a pot with 1 cup of water; bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until rice is tender and water has reduced.
4. While rice cooks, slice chicken and add it to a medium pan with oil and Madras paste over medium heat; toss chicken to coat. Note: adding more Madras paste will make your curry spicier.
