Easy curry chicken recipe

February 21, 2015 By The Skinny Cook Leave a Comment

Prepare this easy curry chicken recipe when you don’t have much time to cook but want to enjoy a delicious curry with little preparation.

Makes 2 servings in about 1 hour, originally posted by The Skinny Cook on 15th of August 2001 (Chicken / Asian (Malaysia) / Main Dish / Stove / No marination).

Before you jump into the recipe, do know that you can split it up and fry the aromatic base of the gravy in advance. You can even make a lot, freeze in portions and use one portion every time you want to cook chicken curry.

When you want to make this dish as fast as possible without a frozen gravy portion: blend all the ingredients ("aromatics to fry") in step 1 before frying, so in step 3 you don’t have to blend anything anymore.

We add tomatoes in order to make a thick and healthy gravy. You can also add in more potatoes : the starch of the potatoes will thicken your sauce.

For creative cooks who want to make their own curry-mixture: experiment with the ingredients until you reach your own "perfect" curry-powder.

Ingredients for this easy curry chicken recipe

  • 1/2 chicken, cut into (10) pieces
  • 2 times 2 tablespoons oil
