The curry is an adaption of a weight watchers recipe that I used to make many years ago. It’s relatively quick to make, and very easy. Its around 3 points per serving.

Ingredients :

(makes enough for 4 people)

1 vegetable stock cube made up to 500ml
2 tbsp Thai green curry paste
50g (2 oz) creamed coconut
8-10 shallots, peeled and halved
400g butternut squash, peeled & cubed

1/2 a lime
A handful of fine green beans
A handful of cherry tomatoes

Chopped fresh coriander, to serve

1. Pour the stock into a large saucepan and add the curry paste and creamed coconut. Bring to the boil, stirring until all of the coconut dissolves. Takes a couple of minutes.

2. Then you need to boil the sauce rapidly for 4/5 minutes. Add the shallots for a couple of minutes, followed by the squash and green beans. Cook over a medium heat, for 10-15 mins, or until squash is tender.

3. Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 2 minutes, finishing with a handful of coriander and a squeeze of lime just before serving.  Serve with sticky rice and/or a thai salad.
