Easy Curry Chicken
One of my favorite things to do is explore the world with my taste buds. A few years ago my husband and I were able to visit South Africa. While there we ate so many different kinds of curry. Potato curries, and bean curries, and various meat curries. There is even this curry called Bunny Chow that is served inside a loaf of bread. There is a lot of history to the curries in South Africa.
The bunny chow curry is served inside bread because the field workers were not supposed to be eating the foods from their homeland and the plantation owners did not like the smells. The workers decided to hide their curries inside their bread loaves and would carry them out into the fields, and eat them there. It is how they held on to their own traditions. Now you can get them all over in South Africa, and it is a celebrated dish.
How to Make Chicken Curry
Obviously I loved curry. And this chicken curry is one of my favorites. I have a creamy red curry chicken recipe on my site that I love when I want a little more spice, that you may like to try. As I started getting really into making curries, I talked to a friend who is from India who makes curry a lot, and she shared this Mixed Vegetable Curry Chicken recipe with me. But this chicken curry is still one of my go to recipes because of the simplicity and flavors. I have played around a lot, and tested and tested. And we have eaten so much curry, trust me when I say this recipe is a great one.
What is in Chicken Curry?
This chicken curry is one of my favorite simple curries. It uses both red curry paste and yellow curry powder, and a nice rich flavor is developed using onions and garlic, but also fish sauce. A little lime juice makes a big difference.
If you haven’t ever cooked with fish sauce before, just keep in mind a little goes a long way. You can find it in most grocery stores in the Asian section or ethnic section. Or if you can’t find it, you could get it at an Asian market, but most major grocers carry it.
We love to serve curries with fresh or Oven Roasted Broccoli and some naan bread (or even 30 Minute Dinner Rolls in a pinch).
