Growing up, I was always so excited when my mom made Indian Chicken Curry for dinner. It was the perfect dish for special occasions or just a regular weeknight meal. The flavors of the curry were always so deep and complex, yet still so comforting. And the leftovers were even better the next day!
I remember how my mom would always add her special touches to the dish. She would mix in some extra spices to bring out the flavor, or add some fresh herbs for a pop of color. It was always so delicious! I’ve tried to recreate my mom’s famous Indian Chicken Curry over the years, and I think I’ve finally nailed it. My version is just as flavorful and comforting as my mom’s, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
For a spicier version: Add some extra chili powder or a few drops of hot sauce to the curry to give it a kick.
For a milder version: Reduce the amount of chili powder or omit it altogether for a milder version.
For a vegetarian version: Substitute the chicken for tofu or your favorite vegetables.
