Healthy, fresh tasting and with a rich finish thanks to coconut milk, this is an easy curry to knock together on a busy weeknight. The tamarind and lime cut through the creaminess to create flavour harmony.

Quick wins & tips

Don’t be tempted to rush the onions – cooking them slowly not only changes the flavour into something sweet and caramelised, but softens them almost into a paste, which will give your curry body. Cooking the dry spices out for a couple of minutes before adding liquid is also an important step otherwise the dish will taste of raw, powdered spices.

Made this and was seriously impressed. We used medium curry powder and one green chilli as that’s what we had and it was plenty hot enough! Easy to make, once you chopped everything up and caramelised the onions it’s super quick – put the rice on at the same time as the 15 minute simmer and you’re all set. Very tasty.
