Recipe: Kadai chicken

Back in the early stages of planning my trip to India later, I thought it was an absolute must that I learned to love Indian curries before I go. I have always loved Thai curries, with the crisp chilli, lime, coconut and coriander flavours in their dishes. I have always been a bit more hesitant on Indian curries – I am less of a fan of creamy dishes, and I have always struggled with the spices used. 2017 is the year where that all changed – and as I’m sure many of you can appreciate, when you cook something yourself it is a lot harder not to like it! So I thought I’d try and make some Indian curries from scratch. Wish me luck! 🙂
