The Wonky Spatula Fragrant Coconut Chicken Curry
Today was Thai Day at Cooks Academy so I took the opportunity to whip up this bad boy!
It has been a whirl wind of a week! Apologies for not sharing some tasty treats earlier in the week – I can assure you that it has been worth the wait!!
(check out last week’s blog post for an idea of what I got up to!)
This Curry is incredibly tasty and super simple to put together – throw away that take away menu and get into your kitchen! You won’t be disappointed!!
