Chicken Curry at Home: An Easy Made Spiced Delight for Your Palate

Here, I'm going to travel away from the Italian cuisine, though this easy Chicken Curry is as well in the menu of my house as it is very much loved by everyone in the family. So, I offer this recipe to you too. It is a super easy chicken curry recipe and even if you think that there are far too many ingredients, compared to other Indian recipes, this one has very few.

Chicken Curry is a warming meal that will enrich your sense of taste with an exotic, spicy fragrance. Served with Basmati rice and accompanied of fresh fruits (bananas, peaches, mangos), it creates a full meal.This is the first spiced meal my children had and they loved it, wanting it every time a little more hot.

Good to know

Curry is a mix of these main spices: coriander, turmeric, cumin, and red chilli.

In Britain, curry dishes started to be popular from the 18th century , when British traders, who had been in India, returned to Britain with the new spices. In Haymarket, in the Norris Street Coffee House,  curry was served for the first time in 1733 , since then it never left us. Today, it is considered one of the best dishes worldwide. Even in an Italian mother’s menu like mine there is Chicken Curry!
