Chicken Curry

Many people think that cooking is complicated. I don’t. It is the effort around cooking, like having to go to the store to buy ingredients and cleaning the dishes that are the parts that make cooking complicated and even tedious. The actual cooking, and even coming up with new ideas, not so much. The last curry post on this blog was a Tofu and Sweet Potato Curry. With a few simple changes to the ingredients, the tofu and sweet potato curry can be turned into a delicious chicken curry. No, it is not disruptive innovation, they are simply small changes that reveal another delicious meal that is very easy to get on the table. As for having to go to the store and cleaning the dishes…it will be worth the effort when you see the smiles on the faces of those to whom you serve delicious simple meals.
