Fragrant Indian Chicken and Veggie Curry

Recipe KATE McALOON

This curry is full of flavourful healthy ingredients! It’s easy to make once you have everything prepped. Your friends and family will love it and it’s a big hit of one of my clients, with Orlando Bloom.

NOTE: I like using broccoli, onions, zucchini and capsicum as a base and adding other veggies I have on hand. Prepare veggies, other ingredients and open the coconut cream before you start the recipe.

TIP: For a heartier dish you can add firm tofu cut in bite size pieces or cooked bite size pieces of organic chicken, prawn or salmon to the recipe. I also love to finish this dish (stir in oils right before serving) with 1-2 drops of Young Living Culinary Oils and lemon, coriander and/or black pepper oils really add a lot of flavour to this dish.
