Spice Mix Ingredients: turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, salt, sugar, black pepper, dried mint, cardamom, dried chillies, cinnamon

Ingredients:

• 1 packet Goan green curry mix (recipe card included)

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• 700g/1.5lb chicken, cut into strips

• 300ml/1/2 pint ‘Secret Sauce’

• 2 generous handfuls of fresh coriander, chopped

• 2 small green chillies, chopped (optional)

• 4 tbsp desiccated coconut with 200ml water, or 1 can coconut milk

• juice 1/2 lime

Recipe:

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil and fry the Goan green curry spice mix until fragrant.

2. Add the ‘Secret Sauce’, chillies, coconut and the stalks from the coriander and simmer for at least an hour. It can then be left for the flavours to develop. If you think the sauce is too thick you could try gradually adding water, or more secret sauce if you have it - you may have been generous with your onions!

3. Fry the chicken in the remaining oil for a couple of minutes. Reheat the sauce and add the meat 10 minutes before serving, together with the coriander leaves.

4. Serve with rice, and small red chillies for garnish.

Cook's Notes:

Liz's sister tried this recipe with beef instead of chicken and it still made a delicious curry!
