Chicken curry is one of the most successful Asian dishes around the world. What was once considered an exotic recipe can now be found on any restaurant menu.
Curry is a condiment made from various spices, and there are many different types: red, green, and yellow. We're used to using pre-mixed curry powder, but in most Southeast Asian countries, it's more common to prepare your own spice mix before cooking.
For this recipe, we chose to use yellow curry paste, which has the mildest flavor and the least heat. Yellow curry paste can be found in Pakistani stores, Asian supermarkets, and even in the international section of many supermarkets. If you can't find specialty stores near you, you can also purchase it here .
This curry can be prepared with or without chicken; either way, it's delicious thanks to the intense flavor of the curry paste. You can also use any vegetables you like.
This curry recipe is perfect for beginners. You can make it with or without chicken; either way, it's delicious thanks to the intense flavor of the yellow paste. We made it with mushrooms, carrots, onions, and zucchini, but you can use any vegetables you like best and even use up any leftovers you have in the fridge. Plus, we've simplified it so you don't have to buy tons of unusual ingredients, although once you try this curry, you won't be able to do without them 🙂

How to Prepare Curry for Beginners
If you don't have sweet chili, you can substitute it with a mixture of equal parts siracha sauce and brown sugar.
Cook for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
Where can I buy the ingredients to prepare Curry?
Most supermarkets currently sell basic curry ingredients, such as soy sauce or coconut milk. If you're having trouble finding curry paste or sweet chili sauce and don't have an Asian supermarket nearby, you can find all the ingredients online:
- Soy sauce
- Coconut milk
- Curry paste
- Sweet Chili
Can I substitute curry paste with curry powder?
If you don't have curry paste, you can use curry powder if you prefer. Keep in mind that curry paste has a more concentrated flavor, so you'll need twice as much curry powder to achieve the same flavor. You can also add other spices for a more complex flavor, such as turmeric, cumin, ginger, pepper, or chili.
What vegetables can I add to a curry?
You can add any vegetables you like best; after all, curry is just the sauce. Simply add the firmer vegetables, like onion and carrot, to the pan first, and add softer ones like broccoli or spinach later so that everything is crunchy but cooked through.
How do I make vegan curry?
Curry is generally a vegan dish, however, some curry pastes are made with fish paste, so it's a good idea to check the label to be sure. If yours is animal-free, simply add your favorite vegetables and enjoy a delicious dish.
