Tips

  • This dish is a great with fresh guacamole or crudités & dips on the side. 
  • For an extra kick add fresh chilli! (I love a little spice).
  • Add a tin of chickpeas or cannelloni beans for an extra health & protein boost.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze. 
  • You could blend leftover curry into soup, thinned with a little water/ oat milk and maybe an additional tin of cannelloni beans, for a warming lunch.
  • Double or triple the spice mix and store in a jar to create your own curry powder blend and make this meal even quicker and week night friendly! (Also makes a great gift!!)
