Coconut Chicken Curry with Udon Noodles
It’s been gloomy and rainy here today, a typical east coast Canadian weather – predictably unpredictable! So I was inspired to make this comforting dish – coconut chicken curry and I’m partnering this with some bouncy udon noodles. I usually partner this with some rice, but I thought I’d do something different this time. I love coconut dishes with curry. It’s the perfect combination especially on a gloomy day. I make it a lot in the winter time too!
