DAY 40. THAI PRAWN CURRY

This curry is the speediest one you'll ever make! Borrowed from 'The Two Fat Ladies' many years ago, it's been a godsend for many a last minute dinner! Serve with noodles.

I show you how to make it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAxNNUXNtEU&feature=youtu.be

4 spring onions, trimmed and sliced

150g mushrooms, wiped and sliced
