Chicken curry and coconut rice makes for a comforting meal. I’m slowing starting to enjoy eating different curry meals if they aren’t too spicy. My favourite chicken curry dish is butter chicken and I love eating it with freshly grilled naan. This dish was made on a weeknight in a hurry and to use up some veggies from my fridge. I suppose you could add any veggies, but I happened to have zucchini and a red bell pepper on hand. Because my daughter was eating it as well, I left out chickpeas because she's allergic, but I recommend adding some legumes as well. I served it with some coconut jasmine rice on the side. It is not difficult to make and adds an extra layer of flavour.
