Thai-flavoured chicken thighs and chunky vegetables, served with rice and lightly fried flatbread.
Method
-
Heat a large frying pan and, once hot, add the oil and then the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for four minutes, then add the chicken thighs and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Stir in the Thai curry paste and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the squash, sweet potato, aubergine and courgette. Stir, then add the coconut milk and chicken stock.
-
Cook for 15 minutes, then add the cream and beans. Cook for further 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, put the rice in a large saucepan and cook to packet instructions.
-
For the flatbread, place the flour, salt and oil in a large bowl and add enough water to bring it together to form a dough. Knead until smooth then divide into four balls.
-
Flour a work surface and roll out each ball into a large circle.
-
Heat a griddle or frying pan and add the oil. One at a time, place each flatbread into the pan and cook on both sides for a few minutes.

To serve, place the rice on serving plates topped with the curry. Place the bread on the side and garnish with fresh coriander and spring onions.
