This Chicken Curry is not to be missed

Though not super authentic, this chicken curry recipe is delicious. Make it with plain Greek yogurt or half and half if you want to cut a few calories. Or go with heavy cream if you’re looking for something more decadent.

Indian takeout is a favorite in my house

Fortunately, Sean shares my love of Indian takeout. While I love chicken tikka masala, he always opts for chicken curry. He’s been asking me to try to recreate it at home for some time now, and I finally succumbed.

While this recipe isn’t identical to the one that we would get from our local Indian restaurant back in Baltimore, it’s still pretty delicious. On top of that, it’s super simple to make.

Fair warning: it’s not exactly friendly to the waistline. Sorry, guys. HOWEVER you can cut down on the calories by subbing either plain Greek yogurt or half and half for the heavy cream.

This recipe is adapted from one I found on the blog I Will Not Eat Oysters.  It’s one of my new favorite blogs; her recipes are delicious and the photos are beautiful.
