Shredded Ginger Chicken Curry
Shredded Ginger Chicken Curry is simple, healthy and super tasty. Make this the next time you crave a curry instead of reaching for the delivery menu, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
I had a huge piece of ginger (the size of my hand) in the fridge from Christmas. It was one of my panic purchases on the big Christmas food shop, along with different types of nuts that are still in the cupboard! This week I really fancied a curry and didn’t want to waste the ginger so I thought I’d experiment, I’m glad I did as the result was amazing.
Healthy home cooked curry on the table in 45 minutes. Serves 4 and is very easy to make.
