Healthy, ready in a flash, luxurious, Thai-inspired, easy to prepare and only 147 calories per serving…. I am definitely making this over the festive period as I am positive it will be a welcome break from unctuous but fatty beef, goose and/or lamb and because my lot absolutely adore curry. No curry paste from a jar used in this one… just a few simple spices will really bring out the most delicious flavours. This is from my favourite recipe website, BBC Good Food.
