Healthy Chicken Khao Soi

This is a healthier version of Khao Soi (Burmese/Northern Thailand Curry Noodle). Mekhala’s all natural Yellow Curry Paste is the main source of flavour. Use low fat coconut milk because the curry should be more of a broth, and leave out the traditional deep fried noodle topping in the name of heart disease! Do not omit the limes and pickled mustard – they really balance out the richness of the broth and add sharpness to the dish.
