Dive into these beautiful flavours of India, there is a reason this dish is a favourite. The foundation of this recipe is making a curry paste before adding in the tomato, chicken and cream, this will help with the intense aromatic flavours.
To make this recipe dairy free, simply swap the lactose free cream for coconut milk. In addition, to make this recipe vegetarian, simply swap the chicken for tofu.
Tip 1: Once you have poured in the canned tomatoes, add a dash of water and pour into the pan, ensuring your swish around the water to get the remaining sauce out.
Tip 2: The longer you simmer the curry, the more intense the flavour will diffuse, I recommend allowing the curry to simmer for 15 to 20 mins.
Tip 3: If your prefer adding a bit of spice and you can tolerate it, then add a pinch of cayenne pepper to this recipe. However, this curry also tastes delicious without!
