Coconut Chicken Curry
This coconut chicken curry is prepared in a fruity mango tomato sauce and combined with fragrant spices is quick and easy to put together and oh so delicious. It is difficult to put
the roots of this style of curry down to a single area of it's origin's but I think it has influences from both the Thai- as well as the Caribbean cuisine.
