Mum’s Chicken Curry

This dish is a true childhood classic for me – my mum’s chicken curry! I remember eating it often growing up and it was always a favourite. The smell of it cooking takes me back in time and makes me smile every time I cook it. I understand now why it was a regular too. It’s quick and easy to make and so very delicious! And perfect family food as you can adjust the spice level to suit even the mildest of palates. It’s a great simple curry to use to introduce spicy foods to small kids.

It is a good recipe for the slow cooker too. Do the first two steps as per the recipe then transfer everything a slow cooker and let it do its thing. Just leave out the water as you won’t need the extra liquid cooking this way.

You can also add vegetables into the curry if you want – carrots, beans, peas, potato, sweet potato, pumpkin or zucchini would all work well. Just add them in towards the end so that they are just cooked and not going soggy!

And it is a perfect recipe to make extra and freeze for another day. In my mind that just helps make it a winning dish all round!
