Loved this! Me and my boyfriend love chinese and indian food, and this is a combination of the two. We would probably add abit more of the hot chili paste next time (and there will be a next time!). We had this two nights in a row and we would definitley recommend this to anybody looking for a simple, quick, healthy recipe that could be mistaken for a take-away!
