15 minute curries are the dreammm 🤗

In fact, 15 minute meals in general are all I want on a weeknight. It's often pasta like this salmon linguine or mushroom tagliatelle but it turns out you can make an absolutely delicious curry in just 15 minutes.

This one has spinach and chickpeas which makes it both hearty and filling especially when it's served with plenty of rice and naan. Oh and don't forget the yoghurt and mango chutney.

I love how easy it is to make a big batch of this curry which will last you throughout the week for easy to reheat lunches or dinners.
