Thai chicken with coconut and lime

This Thai-style dish is a mild curry - you could spice this up just by adding a few teaspoons of good quality curry paste - I recommend the Cock brand if you can get it. Use what you need for the recipe and freeze the rest, you can spoon it directly from the freezer as you need it.
