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.
