Chicken Curry Recipe | Anjum Anand

Anjum Anand shares her mothers chicken curry recipe.

There are two key tips in this chicken curry recipe, one is to keep stirring the chicken & yoghurt marinade when you pour it into the hot pan until it begins to simmer, this will prevent the yoghurt from curdling.

The second is to prick the chillies and cook them whole, this will prevent them from bursting and allows for the flavour without excessive heat.
