This is a quick whip up dinner that can be made in under 30 minutes. It is so full of beautiful flavours that it’s sure to be included in your regular dinner cycle. It’s a bit of a mix of Thai and Indian style curries, and is delicious with steamed jasmine rice but can also be made into a stunning soup by adding one cup of chicken stock and serving with rice noodles.
