A dish full of flavor, freshness, and attitude. The ingredients are easy to prepare – fresh grated ginger, lots of coriander, a chili and garlic to add to the excitement, cashews browned in oil, combined with chicken, coconut milk, green capsicum, severed over a bed of white rice.
This is just a great meal for a balmy summer evening out on the balcony. I’ve prepared this recipe a couple of times now and one time I forgot the garnish at the end (too busy talking with friends) and another time I added a little too much of the green curry mix which made it a little too hot – need to be careful on that. All up – this recipe generates a good quality meal, attractive and interesting in taste and presentation.
