Indian Curry Recipe | JustOneCookbook.com Our Indian neighbor makes the most delicious Indian food and I am very lucky she’s one of my closest friends.  Since there isn’t much overlap between Japanese and Indian food, she opened up a whole new chapter in my culinary world.  It’s great to have someone to go to for advice on different spices and her suggestions are always just perfect.  This is my first attempt at the Indian (Chicken) Curry.  When I told her how much vegetable I was planning to include, she was very surprised.  She said typically she does not put this much when she cooks “Chicken” Curry.  So please adjust the amount according to your preference.

This looks tasty and easy, Nami. Maybe I’ll try it when Jamie’s family is here. Curry is good for big groups! This one’s not too spicy, right?

It’s easy…chop and put everything in a pot. LOL. I spent time most for cooking onions. Onions gets sweet when you saute till nice golden brown. I don’t (can’t) eat spicy food AT ALL. With the amount of chili powder above, I could eat just fine. My Indian friend said she sometimes puree veggies, so it won’t look like mine (all chunks). I like my way because I feel like eating good amount of veggie. Anyway, I hope you will like it!

Thanks, Nami. I like having chunky veggies too. I’ll be like you and add a ton of veg’s. I was actually looking for a good oyako don recipe today and didn’t see one on your site yet. Maybe sometime?!

Oh yeah, I haven’t cooked Oyako Don for a long time. I’ll cook this week/weekend and post it soon! So many dishes I want to cook and share, but too little time… :-( Thanks for suggesting a dish!
