    Chicken Curry Including the 5 A Day Vege

    In the fridge was a big bag of Chicken tenderloins
    What to do with them???
    First thing that came to mind was Chicken Curry
    These days we are blessed with wonderful packets of Curry Paste
    Much easier  than making it yourself and very very tasty
    I like to use Vegeta as seasoning, it is salty and packed full of flavour.
    And if you are so inclined .
    It's Gluten Free
    The beauty of this particular Curry is the amount of Vegetables included
    Pumpkin at the moment is at it's peak, beautiful colour. It Has to be good for you
     So you need for 6 generous servings

    2 packets Curry Paste
    Chicken tenderloins 1kg
    I large onion peeled and sliced
    2 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
    500 gm piece pumpkin, peeled and cut into cubes
    1 carrot sliced
    2 courgettes sliced
    Vegeta seasoning
    1 tin coconut milk
    Handful green beans sliced
    1/2 Lime or Lemon


    Chop chicken into 2cm cubes (approx)
    In a large pan, add curry paste  let bubble slightly
    Add chicken and stir well

    In another pan sauté onions and garlic
    Add carrot and pumpkin
    Stir and cook gently till vegetables are tender
    Add courgettes
    Season with 1 tablespoon of Vegeta

    When the Vegetables start to gain some colour add to chicken
    Deglaze Vegetable pan with 1 cup hot water
    Add to chicken
    Top up with extra water till chicken is just covered
    Simmer till tender about 15 minutes
    Add coconut milk
    Simmer for another 10 mins

    Meanwhile top and tail then slice the green beans into 2.5 pieces
    Blanch in boiling salted water
    Add  to chicken
    Cook for another 5 minutes
    Set aside
    This dish improves with time
    Let those flavours meld
    So preferably  cook at least an hour before serving
    Even better earlier in the day
    Before serving add the Juice half lime or lemon
    Serve over rice with coriander on top
    Dinner is served
    Good for lunch the next day
    Perfect
