Super Simple Chicken Curry

Perfect for lunch time, teatime, and batch cooking to have whenever, this curry is so quick and easy to make. 30 minutes is all it takes to make this delicious, light and healthy curry that can last you 2- 3 meals. The ingredients in this recipe add up to £3.25 from Tesco, meaning it costs £1.65 per meal. (given you already have the spices in the cubard.

This is a great recipe because you can change and adapt the ingredients to your needs and wants by taking out or adding in different meats or vegetables. I made this for dinner at the beginning of the week for me and my sister and I used chickpeas because that is about the only vegetable she can tolerate. When I made it later on in the week, I swapped the chickpeas for a green pepper; if I am honest, I enjoyed it with the pepper more but It was still good with the chickpeas. Next time I make this I am eager to try it with both the chickpeas and pepper so if any of you do put both in, please let me know what it is like.
