Spiced chicken curry on a white plate with a charred flatbread, topped with red onion, tomato, cucumber and coriander

Goan-Inspired Chicken Curry

Here’s a delicious recipe that’s perfect for simple entertaining. It’s easy to make and can be made the day ahead, if like me you want a stress free evening. I just love a coconut-based curry, and this one is right up there as one of my favourites. It uses a lovely blend of spices along with creamed coconut, which gives the dish a beautiful, velvety richness. Simple to make and a real treat to eat. Let me know what you think?
