My daughter was home visiting so I asked what she wanted me to make.  She said and Easy Chicken Curry Recipe.  My daughter loves to be in the kitchen so I know I will get plenty of help with the meal.  More importantly, and more fun, I know she is going to bring her own ideas to the table too.  Did you get the PUN?  She said we should make our own NAAN.  We made two kinds including a cheese NAAN.  The NAAN was awesome and I will share that in a later post.

Easy Chicken Curry Recipe

I have made chicken curry a number of times.  I have made variations including a base to make a Yellow Chicken Curry and a very similar recipe to this Chicken Curry.  Making Indian dishes used to be intimidating but not now because I have the experience.  However, I am not fully satisfied with the depth of flavor that I can create.  I recently saw an episode of Diners, Drive-in and Dives that provided me some real insight into this challenge.  I am not adding enough spices to the skillet and oil.  Adding enough spice to the oil enables the spice flavors to release and intensify.  The other trick was he made a base for his curry dish that he also added to the spices.  I did this but that comes in a later post.

The fun part of Indian recipes is that there is so much flavor in the sauce, you want a vehicle to absorb or pick up all the sauce.  The chicken is really added to give some texture to the dish.  The dish can easily be vegetarian by using chickpeas, lentils or cauliflower.  If you go the vegetarian route, the recipe is also vegan because there is no dairy, only coconut milk.
