  • Handful coriander roots and leaves finely chopped

Cucumber Salad

Instructions
 

  • Start by making the pickling liquid. Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 15–20 minutes, or until slightly reduced and thickened.

  • While that’s simmering, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, mix together the curry paste, coconut milk, shredded coconut and coriander. Add the chicken and toss well to coat, then set aside to marinate.
