Home-Made Chicken Curry

14/02/2016 By Caralee 4 Comments

We have all become a little bit lazy when it comes to making things like a curry paste from scratch but, it is seriously so easy that you should try it. Curry packet or jar mixes can be expensive and they have other additives in them that we are better off staying away from. I get it, it needs to be convenient…. I promise this recipe is super easy. Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients, most of the ingredients are herbs and spices, and you probably have most of it already in your pantry.

Home-made Chicken Curry

You only need a handful of fresh ingredients and I promise that it will taste a thousand times better than any store brought curry paste.

This dish can be made in a jiffy, you don’t need to slave all day to make a beautiful rich curry. I serve this with cauliflower rice, which is the perfect compliment. Enjoy!

      Hi Odette. My children eat this curry. I use the long red chilli’s because they are only mild. If you would like it to be less spicy you can remove the seeds from the chilli and then it will be very mild and perfect for kids. xx
