I adore curries and they are often my go to weeknight dinner, full of delicious nutrients, veggies and fresh herbs.
I rarely use curry pastes opting to create my own, but in Thai curries they nearly always start with a paste. Here I used a really good quality shop brought paste and added a few extras.
Feel free to add on any veggies you fancy and serve it with a big bowl of wholegrain rice or Quinoa.
