This banging chicken curry with sweet peas and chunky onions is super-lean. The reduced-fat coconut milk gives the curry a lovely creamy base without the calories. If you ever go to Ireland and you order a curry from a local takeaway, more often than not it will come with peas in it and I find them such a delicious addition.
