This straightforward recipe brings together the distinct heat of red curry paste, tender chicken pieces, and the natural sweetness of ripe mango. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking for a quick and satisfying meal that doesn't compromise on flavour.

The red curry paste infuses the dish with its characteristic warmth, providing a subtle kick without overwhelming the taste buds.

The addition of ripe mango adds a touch of sweetness, creating a delightful balance to the spiciness of the curry. The bamboo shoots add texture while the coconut milk brings everything together with its creamy richness.
