I like making Indian Chicken Curry for lunch too… It’s super quick and easy. My teenagers come home from school and have a nice hot satisfying meal to see them through the rest of their day!

How To Serve

Serve hot on your favorite rice (I Use brown rice.) Garnish with fresh cilantro, and Enjoy! Indian Curry goes wonderful with a fruit salad, or homemade bread too!

Recipe Tools

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!
