My little ones love the taste and flavour of my chicken curry and they are always asking for daddy’s chicken curry 😊

The curry is medium hot however it can be made more hotter and spicier by more chilli and whole spices.

Served best with rice and yoghurt. Can also be served with Roti.

This recipe can serve 4-6 people.

Leftovers can be put in the fridge and can be eaten up 3 days from when the chicken curry is made.
