Alright, folks, let’s talk about this curry thing. I’ve been seeing a lot of fancy recipes online, but honestly, who has time for that? I wanted something quick, easy, and tasty, so I messed around in the kitchen and came up with this.
First, I grabbed about 250g of boneless chicken thighs. I heard somewhere that 8 oz is also OK. But I only have 250g chicken thighs. Whatever, cut them into bite-sized pieces, nothing fancy. Then, dug out some onions from the fridge. I chopped them up and threw them into a hot pan with a bit of oil, I fried them until they’re all see-through and soft.

- Onions
- Oil
Now, the spices. I’m no expert, but I found some chili powder for a bit of a kick, and some garam masala, because I heard that’s good for curry. And yeah, I threw in a couple of cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods ’cause why not? Then added some curry leaves and fresh coriander. Oh, and turmeric, can’t forget that for the color.

- Garam masala
- Cinnamon sticks

- Curry leaves
- Fresh coriander
- Turmeric
I dumped all these spices into the pan with the onions and let them cook for a bit, just until they smelled good. Then, tossed the chicken in there and stirred everything up, making sure the chicken got coated in all that spicy goodness. After the chicken was cooked through, I poured in some water, just enough to cover everything. Brought that to a boil, then turned the heat down and let it simmer.
Honestly, I just let it bubble away while I did other stuff. This whole thing took me about maybe 30, 40 minutes? Maybe 50 minutes? I didn’t time it. But the result? A pretty decent curry, if I do say so myself. It wasn’t too spicy, had a nice flavor, and most importantly, it was super easy to make.
The takeaway?
You don’t need a complicated recipe or a ton of time to make a good curry. Just use what you’ve got, experiment a little, and don’t be afraid to make it your own. It’s all about having fun in the kitchen, right?
