Directions
First, make the curry paste. Roughly chop the garlic and ginger and place in a small blender. Add the sriracha and all the spices followed by the oil and 1 tablespoon water. Season with a pinch of salt before blending into a smooth paste
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced onions and fry for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften. Add the pepper, fry for a further 2 minutes before adding the curry paste
Allow the paste to cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously to ensure it doesn’t stick or burn, before pouring in the chopped tomatoes and half a can of water
Bring the pan to a simmer before stirring through the cooked turkey. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce for 10 minutes before adding the sprouts and the mango chutney. Allow to simmer for a further 10 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened
Turn the heat down to low and pour in the cream. Stir through, gently warm and season with a little more salt before removing from the heat
Serve the pan straight to the table topped with slices of red chilli, a sprinkling of fresh coriander and a handful of lime wedges. Serve alongside rice and naan bread
