Ready in 35mins it makes the perfect family meal. The peanut butter blends perfectly with the curry spices and the coconut milk to create a creamy satay-like sauce.
Like my easy chickpea curry, this is a mild dish that kids and adults will love. You can season it to taste with lime juice and spice it up with chillies.

Absolutely fab! Use about half of the water for the stock and it needs to simmer for at least 20 mins but other than that, perfect!
So glad you liked it. Thanks for your feedback. Annabelle x
What a beautiful easy dinner!
Thank you. Glad you like it!
Agree that less water for stock is needed else it’s too sloppy. But absolutely delicious and fussy teenage children loved it. Great success in our house and no-one missed not having meat. Put the leftovers in the freezer so hoping that will be good reheated too.
