You can add peppers, broccoli, green beans or any vegetables you want – just pop them in for the last couple of minutes of cooking so they soften slightly but are still nice and crisp.

Ingredients
1 chicken breast, diced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 garlic clove, grated
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons of Thai red curry paste
Couple of kaffir lime leaves
1/2 can coconut milk (full fat will give a much creamier curry)
Directions
- Heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and garlic and stir for a minute or so. Then add the Thai red curry paste and stir around for a couple of minutes.
- Add the coconut milk – if this has separated, whisk together with a fork before adding. The solid part of the coconut milk is what will make this nice and creamy.
- Add the diced chicken and the kaffir lime leaves and leave to bubble away gently over low – medium heat for 12 – 15 minutes.
- When there’s only a few minutes left in the cooking time, add in the fish sauce and the sugar, if using.
- Serve with rice, fresh coriander, sliced red chilli, a lime wedge and some natural yoghurt.
