Singapore Curry Chicken Recipe: 30 Minutes Is All You Need

Make your own curry chicken in half an hour

Curry is one of those dishes that looks complicated but is actually pretty easy to make. Whether you’re a beginner or a Masterchef-wannabe, this curry chicken recipe will definitely impress your family and friends.

The best thing about this recipe is you have complete control over all the ingredients – ain’t nobody got time to go through the ingredients in a pre-mix – and you can decide on the level of spiciness you want. The one we used here has a mild-medium spiciness that goes well with the creamy coconut base. What’s more, all you need is half an hour to make this – weeknight dinners can’t get any easier.
