400g green beans, trimmed, cut in thirds
2 cups cooked Doongara rice (low GI rice)

- Heat oil in frypan over low heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent.
- Turn heat up to medium and add chicken and garlic. Cook for several minutes until the chicken has turned slightly golden.

- Serve rice topped with curry, a handful of coriander and a side of cucumber.
Dietitian Notes / Recipe Tips
Curries are often high in fat due to the use of coconut milk. By replacing this with evaporated skim milk and a small amount of coconut essence you can help turn your indulgent curry recipe into a healthy family favourite!
