One Pot Roasted Red Curry Chicken With Coconut Dhal
One Pot Roasted Red Curry Chicken With Coconut Dhal
This is a great dish. It’s actually inspired by a Donna Hay recipe that I’ve tweaked a bit. I gave it a go as it’s something I usually wouldn’t cook.If the Dhal is soaking up too much liquid, feel free to add a little more water throughout.Feel free to take the skin off, but this recipe makes such a difference with the crispy skin!!A tip: if the oven hasn’t make the skin crispy, pop it under the grill for 5 mins. Just watch it doesn’t burn!
