1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsps ground coriander
2 sticks of lemongrass
3 tbsp tamarind paste
5 macadamia nuts (optional)
2 tsps brown sugar

Thinly sliced chilli and chopped fresh coriander
Freshly cooked rice
Method:
1. Preheat the over to 180C fan/200C/gas 6.
2. Whizz together spice paste ingredients with enough of the coconut milk to make a smooth paste.
3. Mix the paste with the remaining coconut milk and tip into a roasting tin with the chicken, squash and shallots.

Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I didn't make many changes here. I left the optional macadamia nuts optional.
Verdict
Another recipe we liked. I think the South-East Asian recipes from this book have, so far, been among the most successful which main, in part, be novelty.
