Easy Indian Chicken Curry
By ChickenRecipes.ca Team|March 15, 2024
This is the chicken curry that Indian-Canadian families actually make on a Tuesday night — not the elaborate restaurant version with 30 spices, but the practical home version with 6 spices you already own. Onions cooked until deeply golden — this takes 15 minutes and is the foundation of all Indian flavour — garlic, ginger, tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala. Add chicken pieces, simmer for 20 minutes, finish with a swirl of yogurt or cream. Serve over basmati rice with naan from the grocery store bakery.

Pro Tips
- 1Most international spices are available at T&T, Adonis, or the international aisle of Loblaws, Metro, and Sobeys.
- 2Marinating overnight makes a significant difference in flavour penetration — plan ahead when possible.
- 3Bone-in chicken is preferred for most international recipes because the bones add body and richness to the sauce.
Variations
- Swap chicken thighs for drumsticks — they're often cheaper and work in nearly every international recipe.
- Vegetarian version: replace chicken with chickpeas or firm tofu for most recipes.
- Adjust spice levels freely — start with half the chili/heat components and add more to taste.
