Coconut Yellow Chicken Curry

Nothing beats a good curry! It is always better to make your own curry paste from scratch (tastes amazing when you do this) but time is limiting factor in our everyday lives! I would recommend Ayam Thai Curry Pastes as these seem to have mostly natural and minimal ingredients compared to the other brands. You can make this curry in less then 30 minutes and serve on a bed of quinoa or rice. The benefit of a curry is that you can literally add any vegetable you have in the fridge to ‘bulk’ it up and minimise wastage!
