This is one of my husband favorite dishes…he claims that he could eat this curry everyday…I still have to test this statement.
Actually it is very simple and yes, it is very tasty, but I could not see myself eating this everyday…
This time I served with udon noodles, but you can serve over rice, pasta…in another words, any kind of carbs.
In this recipe I added extra curry powder for flavor and spiciness enhancement. You can use only the curry cubes if you wish, especially if you are serving to kids.

Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts, cut in big chunks
6 small red potatoes, cut into quarters
5 carrots, cut in big chunks
2 zucchinis, cut in big chunks
8 oz crimini mushroom cut in half
1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
4 cubes of curry
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ½ to 3 cup water
1 small onion, cut into big chunks

Method:

Sauteé the onion in the olive oil, once the onion start to soften, add the curry powder, continue to cook until a nice fragrance comes out. Add the chicken breast, and brown the chicken. Once the chicken pieces are slightly browned, add the water and let it boil under high heat.
Add the potatoes, cook for a couple of minutes. Add the carrot, until slightly soft, then the mushroom and finally the zucchini. Make sure that you do not overcook the zucchini. Once the vegetables are at the consistency of your liking add the curry cubes. Stir gently so the cubes are all dissolved in the broth. Boil for a minute or two and it is ready to serve.

If you like udon, you might want to check on stir fry udon noodles.


Did you know that curry is a leave? It is confusing since that the curry that we know is a combination of spices and herbs , which may include curry leaves and its mixture varies by countries and regions.

Okay, so here are some more pictures from our vacation in Beijing…Ming Dynasty Tombs and the Great Wall.

Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes and have a great week!

So jealous you were at the Grate Wall!

  21. What a neat tunnel entrance! I’d love to walk in there and explore. Curry is extremely popular in our house, but I don’t make it very often. I should fix that! :) Thanks for sharing this recipe.

  22. I can see why your husband would eat this every day. It’s pure comfort food. Nothing like wonderful sauce coating every single noodle to make you want to scarf up every little bit in the bowl. ;)

  31. I love the holiday snaps! I have curry leaves in my pantry but never remember to use them :)

  33. So yum with lots of veggies! Beautiful photos too.

  34. Indeed, Juliana! This is a great & grand tasty dish which I love!! thanks for your pictures of china: part 2!
    I hope one day to go & travel & eat there,…lots of different foods!

  35. Dear Juliana,

    I have never thought of pairing udon with chicken curry and this simple looks divine. I might just have to ditch the rice on my next curry expedition :)

  36. Love the travel photos and of course the curry recipe. Thanks for reminding me to make Japanese-style curry buns.:)

  37. I am a noodle nut, so I share your husbands addiction to them. I love your China pictures. Bob and I made the climb all the way to the top of the Great Wall. My legs were like putty, but I was the proud recipient of a certificate of completion. We learned at theend of the climb that there was an elevator that would have brought us to the top. We grow too soon old and too late smart :-) . Have a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary.

  38. Oh, how I crave the chewy texture of udon noodles! I rarely cook them, so it’s always a treat. I tend to go with a very straight-forward Japanese sort of flavoring though, never curry, so I’m very excited by the concept. It looks like it would be delicious with seitan!

  39. Love the photos, Juliana! Such a wonderful trip.
    Your curry dish looks delicious. I do love udon noodles!

  40. Did I ever mention how much I adore Udon noodles best, this is a fabulous recipe. Great Ming Dynasty Tombs and the Great Wall pics, hope to make it there one day! have a great week Juliana.

  42. Oh, I just had curry for dinner and now I’m seeing curry…haha. Love your curry. I don’t mind to have a second dinner with your curry :D Looking at your China trip pictures, I really want to go too!

  43. I think curry dishes are some of my favorites too;-) I pinned your recipe and would love to try it! I especially like the close up photo of the bite with the noodles, it’s making me hungry- must be lunch time, lol!

  44. This sounds delicious…I’ll try it for the first time then who knows…maybe I’ll be like your husband.

  45. This dish sounds delicious!! I love the pictures of the Great Wall. Some day I would love to go see it.

  56. You make it sound so easy to prepare this dish, Juliana. It sounds so delicious I just may muster up the courage to give it a whirl:) We’re actually going to have a Udon Noodle Salad at the Picnic Game this year so that should hold me over until I get the rest of the ingredients.
