Chicken curry is a delicious Indian dish with lots of aromatic spices and flavors. The dish consists of chicken that is stewed in a creamy tomato based sauce that’s seasoned with ginger, garlic, and an array of Indian spices. This meal is packed full of spicy flavor and can be made in less than an hour!
Using yogurt to marinate the chicken helps tenderize the chicken and blends in the other flavors to make the chicken juicy and tasty.
I had never made Curry Chicken until recently because I figured it would be an extremely difficult meal to make. Nothing could be further from the truth! This meal is SO simple and takes no time to cook!
