Method
Blend the soaked chillies, shallots, garlic, ginger and tomatoes into a smooth paste.
Cut the chicken into pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and fry the blended paste for 10 minutes until darkened and the oil separates.
Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat well in the paste.
Stir in the ketchup, coconut milk and sugar, and bring to a simmer.
Cover and simmer for 25 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest piece of chicken; it must read at least 74 degrees Celsius before serving.
