This is one of the easier Currys I like to cook on days when I have too much going on. This curry is known as Kadhai Chicken curry which is a northern Indian style curry. It is relatively easy and quick, and is served with basmati rice, and rotis.
Some of the ingredients may be hard to access, and may require you to go to an Indian grocery store. However, if you can access these ingredients, it’s far better than the substitutes that I offer. Either way, I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do.
