Delicious peanutty Thai curry.

I was inspired to make this dish after having it for the first time recently at a really great thai restaurant. The menu said it was renowned for being the world's greatest dish so I had to try it!

I was trying to pick out all the flavours whilst eating it as it was so so good.

Think I've done a pretty good job on this one, it's delicious! I added in some extra veggies to get those nutrients.

A great one for a weekend treat or batch cook ready for a busy week ahead!

How do we do it?

Tips

This curry freezes well so great to make a batch ready for those busy weeks!

If you are reheating it, ensure it's piping hot before serving.

I didn't make this curry too hot, so if you do like some heat add in some fresh chilli peppers. If you really like nuts in your curry feel free to add a few extras into the pan with your vegetables as well as in the curry paste.
