Chicken Curry

Chicken curry is common to several countries including India, countries in Asia and the Caribbean (if you are looking for an Asian version I have that recipe HERE). My favorite of them though is this aromatic Indian Chicken Curry, I’m always just craving these flavors.

This is the perfect weeknight curry — it's primarily comprised of ingredients you probably already have on hand: chicken, onions, garlic, pantry spices, heavy cream, and canned tomatoes. Not a spice lover? All good; while there are a lot of warm ground spices that season the dish, this curry isn't spicy at all. 

Wait, shouldn't there be curry powder in this curry?

What condiments should I serve with this?

Chutneys and lime or mango pickle are great accompaniments for curry. Their uses go way beyond curry, so you won't have any problem getting to the bottom of the jar.

Kept in an airtight container, this curry can last up to 4 days.
