Red Thai curries are very popular and this recipe is a little different as it has green beans and bamboo shoots which add colour and texture. Delicious served with rice or noodles, this is an excellent dish to serve to family or friends and the perfect Saturday night takeaway alternative that only takes minutes to rustle up. This curry is packed full of classic Thai spices, a creamy red curry flavour and succulent pieces of chicken that are cooked just right. A Naan bread or two wouldn?t go a miss with this recipe.
