TO THE MAKE THE CURRY
The paste makes enough for 3-4
chicken breasts or salmon steaks, or
400g (14oz) of peeled prawns
•
To make the curry, stir fry the
chicken breasts (chopped), the
salmon (cubed), or the prawns in
a little hot oil for 2-3 minutes (the
chicken will take longer than the
fish – about 6-8 minutes,
depending on the size of the
pieces) then mix in the curry
paste
•
Stir well, cook for 2-3 more
minutes and add a small cup of
water to thin a little
•
Simmer for a couple more
minutes and serve straight away
with steaming basmati rice
