Full of delicious nutrients, veggies and fresh herbs, I adore curries, and they've become my go-to weeknight dinner.
I rarely use shop-bought curry pastes, usually opting to create my own, but in Thai cuisine they nearly always start with a paste. For this delicious massaman curry, I used a really good quality shop-bought paste, then added a few extras.
Feel free to add in any veggies you fancy – then once it's done, I recommend serving this warming, hearty dish with a big bowl of wholegrain rice or quinoa.
