Tool You Will Need
Tool to make Indian Chicken Curry include a sharp knife for chopping onions, cilantro, garlic and chicken. Or consider a food processor for chopping onions! I also use a big stainless skillet and spatula to cook this dish. I always cook rice in a rice cooker simply because it’s easier, and takes almost no effort. And last, but not least, measuring spoons for spices!
I absolutely love curried chicken, and this recipe is a totally new version that I can’t wait to try. It sounds so delicious! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks Chey! We love chicken curry too… So much flavor and I love that this one is so healthy! You could also try it on cauliflower rice! (I serve with brown rice!)
