Mid-week meals are always the hardest to prepare! You’re halfway through the work week, you’re almost out of recipe ideas and getting into the kitchen is probably the last thing you feel like doing.

You can get big flavour though without spending too much time in the kitchen. Curries have a reputation for being too hard to prepare and needing too many spices for a flavour kick.

That isn’t always the case though, it is possible to get your taste buds tingling with just a few key ingredients. Warm up this winter with a big bowl of our easy chicken curry, ready to enjoy in just 30 minutes!
