Instructions

  • Start by chopping your vegetables and chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  • Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes turn mushy.

Notes

1. For a creamier texture, you can add a dash of coconut milk towards the end.
2. Adjust the spiciness by adding or reducing the green chilies and red chili powder.
3. Pairing the curry with whole-grain rice or quinoa can boost its nutritional value.
4. For a vegan version, substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas.
