Chicken curry with mango and leeks

March is cold, very cold. It ‘s raining, sometimes even snowing, it is dark, let’s just say I don’t cope well with winter. All I can think about is the warmth of a sunny island, Maldives? Mauritius? … or not. At least not for now, but I can always comfort myself with some good food which flavours will reminds me of those sunny missed places. That will fit more my budget than a trip to the islands 😛
