Mild Curry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is for the times when you fancy a curry but are limited for time. It uses simple basic ingredients and is ready in  30 minutes. A perfect meal for the whole family any night of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It kind of tastes like a cheats Korma, but by using yoghurt it is much lower in fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut Extract<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is to flavour the yoghurt to give that coconutty flavour. You will find coconut extract in the baking aisle of most major grocery stores or online at Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a great way to give that flavour to curry. Just a small amount adds the perfect coconut flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can't get any of this though and want to try this curry, it won't affect the taste too much by omitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken Curry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It's no surprise that I enjoy curry and Indian inspired dishes. There are many different curry dishes to be found right here on my blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in my student days (and that is quite a few years ago now), a curry would of either of come from the local takeaway or consisted of frying up some meat and dumping a jar of sauce over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now however I have a huge selection of spices and use them frequently, creating my own dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most curries can be daunting when you look at the huge list of ingredients and you can often think that it works out expensive buying all those spices, but really you can easily add to your collection even on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend just buying maybe one different spice every time you go grocery shopping. Don't just rely on the grocery store either, you can often buy cheaply online or even at a local Indian grocery store. Especially if it is for hard to find spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for this curry, you don't need many spices at all. Just a basic curry powder is sufficient. So it's a great starter recipe to try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sides for Mild Chicken Curry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I simply like to go for some plain basmati or jasmine rice alongside this curry. Rice is so easy to cook too. If you can never get it a perfect try this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
