Tasty Chicken Curry for the busy student

Many folks who don’t mind a bit of spiciness in their foods are usually fond of the chicken curry dish and has its origins from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

There are so many variations of this dish that it would be impossible to list all of them and they all come from different regions of the country. The simplest dish consists of cut chicken pieces in a fresh curry sauce is often the most favorite and is also the quickest to prepare.

The most difficult part people have with making a dish of this kind is the types of ingredients to add and how much of it. Here, I mention the most easiest way to prepare a chicken curry dish in under 20 minutes plus the cooking time.

The main ingredient you need is to go to a nearby Pakistani or Indian grocery store and get yourself a packet of Shan Chicken mix (fig. 1).

If you are not nearby any Asian convenient store, then the next best thing is to order online. Here is a link you can go to… http://store.asianfoodcompany.com/sh007.html
