Being Indian, I love to eat Indian food often. It takes me back to that feeling of home food. My Aadi is the same, my Indian boy. So, if I don’t cook Indian food for a few days, he will ask “mom when you going to make chicken curry again” or “mom can you make chicken biryani again?” Hence, no matter how busy I am, I love making good chicken curry.
Today I bring you another curry recipe and this one is probably the easiest of them all. When I lived away from home and worked for Singapore Airlines, I’d often come back to base tired after a long flight. And after an eight-day trip, there is nothing to cook at home and no energy to go shopping. I’d be so hungry. So, I would make this curry often. Because it is quick, and with basic Indian spices that I always have at home. And it was just the Indian comfort food I needed to feel home again after a long flight.
Most of all, we love this easy chicken curry! It’s probably the one that my kids can never get enough of. And if you ask my kids what they want for lunch, they’ll usually say – chicken curry with chapati.
