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!
