If you are looking for an easy and budget-friendly meal for your family, then this simple chicken curry recipe is for you.
The recipe is an Indian-inspired meal. Coconut cream is just the perfect sauce to bring out the warm spices of the yellow curry to the chicken. You can serve this easy to cook curry dish with lots of steamed white rice for a satisfying and filling meal. The level of spiciness is only mild. If you wish to amp up the level, you can add a couple of bird’s eye chilies or chili powder into the chicken curry until it reaches your desired level of spiciness. Always remember to taste-test what you’re cooking to avoid it being too spicy to eat.
