Green thai squash curry

Main Serves 4 35 min
A dead easy, vegan squash curry, this gets its creaminess from coconut milk, a fresh kick from limes and fresh coriander, and a good crunch from sprouting seeds. It's a great midweek meal served with brown basmati rice or any other grain you like. To keep this quick you can go with shop-bought Thai green curry paste if you don't want to make your own – but it's even better if you do.
