Chicken and Pear Curry

Thai curry that can be cooked together in a few minutes. A great recipe which can be suitable for vegetarians by simply leaving out the prawns or chicken. Also not too filling and healthy, I love the combination of pear and chicken in this recipe

1 tsp rapeseed oil

2 tbsp red curry paste
