Tomato Chicken Curry

6 steps
Prep:15minCook:45min
This is not butter chicken, but since it involves similar flavors, it passes when we need it to. It’s a bright, easy curry made of stuff you already have in your cupboards and refrigerator. A perfect Tuesday dish, it comes together in about the time it takes to cook a pot of rice. Serve with rice and Chana Masala and a cup of hot black tea.
