    Tomato and Chicken Curry - Sparkles In The Everyday

    There is something magical about curries especially this Tomato Chicken Curry Recipe. It is delicious, full of favour and it is not made using a packet or a jar but made from scratch!  There is a comforting satisfaction from making a curry - crushing the spices, making the paste and cooking the aromatic curry...and of course eating it! 🙂

    Mortar and Pestle with delicious Tomato and Chicken Curry

    I love opening up the jars where I keep my spices such as cumin and coriander seeds, cardamom and turmeric. I love the smell of all the different spices and knowing that a comforting delicious curry is on the way!

      I think the best part is that this Tomato Chicken Curry is really easy to make, even though it may look like it uses a few spices. Once you have combined the spices, ginger, garlic and salt together and crush it in a mortar and pestle to make a paste, the rest is easy!

    This is also a versatile curry paste as you could use red meat, fish, tofu or even as a vegetarian dish by just substituting the chicken for vegetables. We make it with chicken thighs as the chicken becomes very soft and tender.

    Tomato and Chicken Curry ...from scratch!

    This Tomato Chicken Curry  is also gluten-free for if you are Coeliac, gluten intolerant, gluten sensitive and it is wheat free.

    It is funny that when this Tomato Chicken Curry is bubbling away on the stove top, the rest of my family comes from the far reaches of my home. A great way to get teenage boys to the table!! 🙂

    a spoonful of tomato and chicken curry

    We serve this Tomato Chicken Curry with fluffy basmati rice and top the curry with yoghurt. You can add in as much chilli or as little as you like. When my parents come over I always add less chilli for them (sometimes none) as they are not chilli lovers. The lack of chilli does not change the flavour it just doesn't have that 'warm kick'.

    Enjoy 🙂
