Thai Chicken Curry with Pineapple

We love curry and we are trying to make our kids like it also.  This is a simple recipe for curry.  Not totally authentic in my opinion, but we really liked it.

2 teaspoons curry powder
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 cup chicken stock
4 chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons chicken stock
3/4 cup chopped pineapple

Pour milk into a sauce pan.  Stir in curry powder, fish sauce, brown sugar, and 1 cup chicken stock. Place the chicken thighs, peas, peppers, and carrots into the saucepan with the curry sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the chicken is cooked though, about 25 minutes.  Whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold chicken stock. Stir cornstarch mixture into the curry. Mix the pineapple into the curry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
