Our chef Mimi is a bit of a globetrotter and finds inspiration wherever she goes. This delicious 20-minute curry is a recreation of a particularly memorable meal she enjoyed on her travels, and is guaranteed to transport you to the palm fringed beaches of Goa, India. Zesty lime and creamy coconut milk are combined with Goan curry paste and garnish to create a sauce that works perfectly with succulent chicken, spinach and vine tomatoes. Quick, simple and delicious, this recipe ticks all the boxes.
