  1. Hmmmmm hmmmmm!! Nice and easy alright!

    I added some chopped up chicken thighs to add to this meal and used brown rice and it was just fantastic! I love the bright colours of all the vegetables against the redness of the curry.

    Might try fresh vegetables next time (although the frozen option is great when some veges are not in season).

    By adding the chicken the meal ends up being around 600 calories
