4 chicken drumsticks , skin removed

2 large red onions , chopped

2 peppers (any colours will do), chopped

3-4 tbsp mild curry powder

425g can pineapple chunks in unsweetened juice

400g can coconut milk

2-4 tbsp hot pepper sauce (depending on how hot you like it)

small bunch coriander , chopped

Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and brown well on all sides, then transfer to a plate. Add the onions and peppers to the pan, and cook for 5 mins until the veg starts to soften. Return the chicken to the pan and sprinkle in the curry powder, then add the pineapple with its juice, and the coconut milk. Season and simmer, uncovered, for 40 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened a little.

Add the beans and pepper sauce to the pan. Simmer for another 2-3 mins until the beans are warmed through, then scatter with coriander and serve with cooked rice.
