NONVEG – RED CREAMY CHICKEN CURRY
GUEST POST BY KAREN D’SOUZA
Don’t we always crave for that thick and creamy chicken curry that we get in some restaurants? At home, we generally do not try it because it seems like a tedious process to get that yummy taste and consistency. But, I’ll help you save time and energy by giving you a quick way to prepare a flavourful red creamy chicken curry in your own kitchen.
This gravy is so simple to make, that along with being proud of yourself, you will also be licking your plate clean.
RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
4 chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
3 tbsp oil or butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped or pureed
1 big clove of garlic, minced
2 tbsp garam masala – you can buy it here
1 tbsp paprika, this adds the color to your dish ½ tsp chilli powder, if you like it spicy
Salt for taste
3/4 cup heavy cream/fresh cream – you can buy it here
Coriander leaves for garnish
METHOD:
- In a pan, heat oil or butter and add onions and garlic and fry till brown.
- Add tomatoes, salt and paprika. Sauté till tomatoes turn mushy and the oil is visible separately. If using tomato puree, add 2 tbsp water as the puree can be thick. With water, it can spread evenly and cook.
- Add chicken pieces and garam masala and cover and cook till chicken is fully cooked.
- Add cream and cook for another 3 to 4 mins.
- Adjust the consistency as per your preference. Do not add water. In case you find it too thick, you can add 3 tbsp water.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
- You can have this with roti, naan, bread or even ghee/jeera rice.

Wow that looks is delicious. I’m bookmarking this to make it over the weekend. We have a huge fan of anything chicken in our household. Hehe

We love chicken and this is indeed intersting recipe. I will definitely try to make it accordingly . Thanks for sharing
I am a vegetarian so I will not be trying this recipe. But I am amazed to read the recipe, it is so easy just like cooking a vegetable dish. I used to think that cooking non-veg needs a lot of preparation and cooking time. I will share this post with my non-veg lover friends.
We have chicken at home because it is Sunday and this is the right time to read a post like this when I can try my hands on something new and flavourful
I’m a vegetarian but a friend of mine is a hardcore non-vegetarian and loves chicken. This sounds like a recipe she’ll surely love to try as its spicy and looks so inviting.
This is such a simple to make at home recipe. I used to think such dishes would require lots of slaving over the pot… But good to learn easy recipe
While I am a pure veg, my husband relishes non veg food and I’m sure he wld love to eat this dish… looks delicious and easy to make.
I loved how the recipe had a subtle manglorean touch. The flavours will definitely be diverse. I am a hardcover non vegetarian and love to try new dishes. This ones on my list now.
Loved the recipe and will surely try it out.Thank you for sharing this Cindy….and a thumbs up to Karen for sharing the recipe.
I do prepare Chicken curry in similar fashion, red paprika is what I need to try as chicken in spicy way is loved by my family.
Yum! I generally love these kind of flavours and would love to recreate this recipe at home too. So happy to have come across it!
Yeah looks so so yum, will surely be trying this out Cindy and will tell you how it turned out.
This recipe looks so tempting and this coming weekend I am sure that I will be trying this. Thanks will share my picture of this recipe
I am a pure vegetarian but chicken recipes are also on the list of non-vegetarians. Looking at the ingredients, they are easily available in everyone’s pantry..
They sure are… you can replace Paneer (after frying a bit) to the same gravy to make it vegetarian.
Again an interesting recipe by Karen. I m sure non vegetarian will love it. I request her to share something for vegetarians too.
Thank you for appreciating. I have tried this recipe with Paneer as well and it tastes just amazing. You can give it a try with exact same recipe and substitute chicken with Paneer (fry the paneer a bit before adding it in the gravy)
Also, soon going to share some Vegetarian recipes as well.
Thank you for appreciating. I have tried this recipe with Paneer as well and it tastes just amazing. You can give it a try with exact same recipe and substitute chicken with Paneer (fry the paneer a bit before adding it in the gravy)

Hey Thanks for stopping by. Hope you like this super easy dish!
I agree with her that cooking is therapeutic and it is an art and skill which not everyone has . This looks so simple and extremely delicious.
Thank you. Do try the recipe and let us know.
