This quick and easy curry is full of fragrant flavours.
You can make you own curry paste using my recipe here which i recommend over shop bought, but if you don't fancy making your own then a Laksa curry paste would be OK here too.
This recipe gives you a delicious curry with a rich sauce, great for seeping into the rice underneath, and packing a flavourful punch!
I've made this recipe using chicken, but pork can be used, or meat can be omitted altogether and a mix of veg or tofu is also lovely.
