We confess—we absolutely love Indian cuisine and were slightly intimidated about developing a one-pan chicken curry recipe. We had to achieve the taste we were looking for while creating a recipe that is easy to make!
Our process ended up being rather straightforward from start to finish—not laborious or intimidating like we initially thought! This dish will make your home smell fantastic and is a complete meal when served over a bed of steamed basmati rice. It’s fun to try new things!
