Such an easy family dinner, put this one on your menu builder and regular rotation. Set and forget!

This is so easy and yet so fragrant and pleasing. We served it with steamed rice and loads of coriander, and I think adding pumpkin, cauliflower, potato, eggplant or any other veg of your choice would work really well.

Delish. Mild. Family. Simple! A new favourite for weeknights!
