Funnily enough I've made something very similar today but with a much stronger Thai element, I've got ginger, lemon grass, chilli and garlic in mine and a tin of coconut milk for good measure.
that sounds good. This one is a James Martin recipe that we now use in our hospital dining room. I will try to put one on each day. Ive tried 3 so far and they have all been delicious
