A twist on the classic chicken curry

A new week for me means trying my hand at cooking a different dish in the kitchen.

This week I decided to make a curry. I have been reading Red Online (the online magazine from Red) a lot and have found some great recipes on there that are beginner-chef-friendly. Usually this magazine will go unnoticed by myself (maybe it's because of my age?) but I feel that their online magazine can appeal to any woman of any age.

Now where was I? Oh yes, I was telling you about the delicious curry I cooked- chicken and spinach. The recipe on Red Online is actually called 'chicken and cauliflower curry' but I subsidised the cauliflower for the broccoli that I had left over in my fridge.

The recipe is quite easy to follow.You will need the following ingredients and a couple of pans to cook with:
  • Diced chicken
  • Garam masala
  • Coconut milk
  • Turmeric (I used cumin instead, I suppose any spice could work)
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Green chillies
  • Tin of chopped tomatoes
  • Rice

I won't bore you by blogging the whole recipe, instead you can find it on their site here.

I will say though that you might like to add a few extra spices to the curry, depending on hot you like it. I have found that when cooking with tomatoes that they tend to dominate the flavour of the dish, so I suggest blending any other spices that you might have lingering in the backs of your cupboards to give the curry a bit of hit. Also remember to season well!

Here is what my curry turned out like.


I was quite chuffed with the results and it wasn't too hot for my liking. I will be following another of Red Online's recipes sometime soon so watch this space ;-)
