Air Fryer Chicken Massaman Curry

This curry is a take on a classic Thai curry and is a great way to increase your veg intake. Massaman curry paste is a great shortcut to a flavoursome meal. If you have leftover roast chicken or turkey, you can use them instead. Recipe adapted from Budget Air-Fryer Cookbook by Jenny Tschiesche. Photography by Kate Whitaker © Ryland Peters & Small.
