Stage 7 - 5 min.

Now add 250 ml cream, stir well, turn down the heat and leave to thicken gently to your taste.

Check the seasoning and your chicken curry is ready. It can wait for a while if covered and kept hot.

Stage 8
Quick chicken curry : Stage 8
Serve with white rice for example, preferably Basmati.
Remarks
It's even better if you can replace the chicken stock cube with some left over chicken cooking juices.

If you use raw chicken, no problem, just leave it to cook when you've added it to the pan, before adding the stock.

The ingredients can be adapted and varied to suit your taste, especially the spices.
And to drink?
It's not easy to find a wine that goes well with curry so why not try a beer, either pale or dark, otherwise a good tea.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.
Source: Home made.
