Kids Chicken Curry


This is one of my favourite family recipes. Simple to make but with a delicious mild, fruity curry chicken flavour. If you like you could add some baby sweetcorn. Its great served with poppadums and fluffy white rice.

Well, you will never guess, it was Chicken Curry with Spaghetti Bolognese coming a close second.
