Any preferred vegetable may be added to the recipe or chicken if you wish.
You may add 3 diced chicken fillets to your curry sauce if you wish. This will need to go in before the vegetables. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before you serve.
To Serve:
Serve on a bed of brown rice or any other rice will be fine.
Add a cup of quinoa to your rice for extra goodness and protein.
This curry may be portioned and then frozen.
