Growing up in a large family, I know all about trying to whip up a delicious dinner that will please every palate. My Indian Chicken Curry is a great way to do just that! It’s full of flavor, and the spiciness can easily be adjusted to suit everyone’s tastes. I love to serve it with fragrant basmati rice and a side of crunchy naan bread.
I love the added depth of flavor that comes from using a variety of spices in this dish. I usually use a combination of garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder. You can adjust the amount of each spice to make it as mild or as spicy as you like. I always add a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro to the dish for an extra burst of flavor!
My family loves this dish and I often make it for special occasions. It’s a great way to bring everyone together and enjoy a meal together. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
For a milder version, reduce the amount of chili powder in the recipe.
For a spicier version, add more chili powder to the recipe.
For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken for 2 cups of cubed tofu.
For a vegan version, use vegan yogurt and cream in place of the dairy.
