Heat coriander, cumin, peppercorns, and cardamom seeds in a 10" skillet over medium-high heat, and cook until seeds begin to pop and are toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a food processor along with cilantro, turmeric, shrimp paste, nutmeg, chiles, garlic, lime leaves, serrano, shallot, lemongrass, ginger, lime zest, juice, and 2 tbsp. water; puree until smooth. Season with salt, and set curry paste aside.
Combine curry paste and coconut milk in a 4-qt. saucepan, and heat over medium-high heat; cook, stirring, until oil begins to separate from the milk, about 12 minutes. Add chicken, and cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Add stock, fish sauce, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and ladle chicken and sauce into serving bowls. Garnish with basil and sliced chiles, and serve with rice.
