Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and sugar until well combined. Add chicken thighs and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the coating by mixing rice flour or cornstarch with a pinch of salt and pepper on a large plate.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Dredge marinated chicken in flour mixture and fry for 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Thai chili sauce and yogurt or mayonnaise until smooth.
  5. Toast the buns, spread the chili mayo on both sides, layer the fried chicken, cucumbers, and pickled carrots, and press down with the top bun.
  6. Serve with optional fresh cilantro and lime juice for added flavor.
