I love CURRY!

Do you love curry?

I DO, I DO, I DO!

How could you not?

This is a chicken curry that I made by roasting a whole chicken, but you could just use breasts if you don't want to wait for the whole chicken.

I served it with some brown rice and it was absolutely delicious, the basil added such a great flavor, I would have never thought of that!

FYI I put extra curry paste in because I like it SPICY, 

so use your taste buds

and add more if you want.

This is definitely a mild curry,

I know this because I was not breathing fire by the end of the meal.

So here's my suggestion...

the night before you want to make this dish make roasted chickens.

Roast 2 chicks instead of one.

Cut breasts off one chicken and serve with potatoes and some kind of veg (or whatever you want).

Then shred up the meat from the other chicken,

that you will use for the next night to make this curry dish.

It makes for such a quick and easy curry, you have to try it.

Its like killing two birds with one stone...

ok PUN intended. :)

ENJOY!
