  • 1 small red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 level tbsp Thai massaman curry paste
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skin removed (150g/5½oz each), cut into bite-sized pieces

Method

Put the coconut milk, stock, red onion, curry paste and cinnamon stick in a large, wide saucepan. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat.

Add the chicken, green beans and aubergine and cook gently for 15–20 minutes, or until the aubergines are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Spoon the curry into four shallow bowls and scatter over the cashews, chilli and spring onion. Serve with the lime halves for squeezing over.
