This chicken curry is a combination my flatmate used to make in our Christchurch flatting days which is absolutely delicious sweetened with banana. I challenge you to give it a go! Serve with rice or cauliflower/broccoli rice.

Ingredients
- 3 T oil
- 500 gms chicken thighs, cut into small pieces

- 1 T ginger, finely chopped

To Serve
- 2 bananas, sliced
- natural unsweetened yoghurt
- lime wedges

Instructions
- Cook the rice according to packet instructions, or if you're cooking cauliflower/broccoli rice, do it just before serving.
- To make the chicken curry, heat 1-2 T of oil in a wok or heavy based pot, add chicken and cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes while stirring. Remove chicken and set aside. Add a little more oil to the pan and saute the onion over medium to low heat for 1-2 minutes, then add the ginger and carrots. After 2 minutes, add the garlic and spices and cook for a further 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the coconut cream and chicken stock, season with salt and pepper and simmer gently for a further minute or until warm.
- Add the reserved chicken, courgette, coriander and almonds. Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes or until the courgette is tender, and chicken cooked through.
- Serve immediately over rice or cauliflower rice, add sliced banana to the top, along side lime wedges, slivered almonds and a sprinkling of fresh coriander.
